This is related to Dropbox on three different android tablets, 2 Samsung, one other Android versions 14 and 15. Dropbox is the latest version from Play Store mp3 files are played in the Dropbox default mp3 player when clicked. This works correctly for mp3 files in the cloud However: - Make the mp3 files available off line and the default player wont play the file. The player opens, but the 'play' button is ineffective and the music duration box shows --/--. The same offline files can be played with third party apps using the "Open With" dialog . This is a new problem as of Oct 27th 2025. Off line files have always played correctly up to now I prefer to use the default player as it has the features I like.

Application Affected (Dropbox App) Device (Samsung Tab S8.) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Android 15, One UI 7.0.) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (444.2.2) Question or Issue I have been having problems open pictures (jpg, png, etc) from the Dropbox app. I can see pictures listed in the app. When I try to open them, they just stuck at the loading screen. Sometimes they may load after a few minutes. Sometime they will load forever. The videos and other documents open just fine. I can open pictures with third party app such as Samsung Gallery with no issue. It seems like the Dropbox picture viewer is having some trouble to load content. I have tried to clear cache and reinstall the App. I'm still having the same issue. Any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated.Solved122Views0likes7CommentsRenaming files on the Android app adds a "-1" to the filename and removes their extension.
Device Lenovo Tab P12 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 15 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 440.2.4 When I try to rename a file, I see a second line which adds "-1" to my new file, doesn't matter what I do, I cannot get rid of it. Not only it does not make sense, but it has corrupted so many of my files as very often it rewrites also the extension, so when trying to rename documnet.pdf, it will rename it either document-1.pdf or even worse to document-1 NO EXTENSION. Then I have to download the file to my tablet, open it via my local file explorer, add ".pdf" extension and then I can use it. Today I upload a WORKING pdf file to dropbox, and without renaming it, it removed the extension, so I was unable to send it via email or whatsapp to other people, I couldn't do anything with it, and the worst thing is that I cannot do such an easy job as rewriting the FULL name of the file whatsoever as this app for a very strange reason doesn't allow rewriting the extensions for me I know I am not the only one, because recently a pdf file was shared in a group chat of my colleagues and nobody was able to open it after downloading it (whole thing was outside dropbox), when I donwloaded it it was called "file.-1" , I asked the person if she uses dropbox and she confirmed, but she didn't know that your program can corrupt our files.Solved273Views0likes11CommentsDropbox mobile app won't show search results.
Devices IPads, Android smart boards, Dropbox Website Operating System/Browser (if using the web) IOS, IPAD OS, Android, Microsoft Edge Dropbox App Version/Browser Version Dropbox 440.2.2, IOS 18, Android 13/14, Edge v. 139 (Arm/64 bit) Question or Issue Our company Dropbox recently has had an issue with searching for files in one specific folder. The folder in question has many PDF files in it for employees to grab to find specifications for building jobs. On the windows Dropbox app the files can be found in search easily, but on the mobile apps / Dropbox website it will say "No Results Found"... If you scroll manually through the folder the files are there and can be open but cannot be searched for. Another weird problem is that the files that are not showing up will not show any version history and an error message will pop up (see screenshot). It almost feels like the Dropbox backend is not indexing the files on the cloud. Any help would be appreciated!159Views0likes7CommentsIs there an old version of Dropbox that I can install on a old iPad (A1458) using ios v10.3.3?

I am currently using the app on my iPad 11 inch Air M3 using OS18.6.2. Every time I try to type in the search bar it lets me write one or two letters/numbers and then stops even though I am still typing. I have to keep clicking on the bar to continue typing… Im using the most up-to-date version of the app as there is no option to upgrade on the App Store. Any thoughts?? Its very annoying as I use the search bar all day!88Views0likes3CommentsI'm seeing a weird exclamation mark next to Dropbox on Xmind on my iPad.
Hello, My Dropbox app on iPad is not syncing with my Windows 11 desktop. For example, when I open a mind mapping software that I use (Xmind) and try to open a mind map that I saved in Dropbox desktop: beside the Dropbox icon, there is a circle formed by two arrows with an exclamation point inside of the circle. I cannot find any information in Dropbox support files on this specific icon. I am guessing it is indicating some sort of sync issue. I would appreciate your instruction and help for this Dropbox newbie. Thanks much! DaveSolved510Views0likes16CommentsWhy can't I log in to Dropbox on my different devices?
Application Affected (Dropbox ) Device (iMac, MacBook, iPad) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (macOS 15.5, ios 18.5) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (Not found in app settings or About section) Question or Issue I have Dropbox on three Apple devices. A couple of months ago, I updated all of them and transferred all the files from the old to the new machines. Now when I log on to my desktop, I get a request to log in to Dropbox. When I do, it says I already have Dropbox on three devices and must upgrade to add another. In fact, I am trying to log on to one of the three devices that has Dropbox installed. I have had no trouble adding or using Dropbox files, so I have ignored the logon requests. But recently, I tried to access files I created or edited since I got my updated machines, and they're not on either the laptop or the iPad. Why doesn't the work I do on my desktop appear on my other devices, as it always did with my old ones? And how can I log on to any of my devices when the algorithm apparently thinks I'm trying to add a fourth device?Solved140Views0likes3Comments
