Dropbox Issue

[sceadugenga]

When I use the Dropbox app on my iPad to transfer files to other places it's sticking on the "exporting file" message and needs a hard reset to get rid of it.

I've tried deleting the file from the PC but it makes no difference, nor did reinstalling Dropbox.

Very annoying.

I barely use DropBox anymore, so I don’t have any files there to experiment with.

All I can suggest is adding it to the Files app, and see if you can do what you want from there. I access almost all my cloud storage services from the Files app these days: unless I need a speciffic feature that only the original app has (like making a file local).

Thanks, I could load them direct from my MEGA app as well but I like Dropbox.

Ok. From the sound of it, it is more likely to be an issue with the DropBox app than a general iOS bug. You might have some luck checking DropBox’s support pages.

I have occationally had problems saving thing to iCloud using the Share sheet’s Files option; but the symptoms are different, and clearing the app usually clears things up.

Thanks, I'm talking to the app support now.

Good luck. Please let us know what happens.

Well I'm back and it's still the same, Dropbox support had a couple of suggestions but I could not get them to work.

I use Dropbox frequently .I have the paid business version, and share my DB with another person.I did not download the app though. I use the internet version. Maybe I won`t tap download the app now. Weird......

I got years of good use out of it, it just needs to be fixed.
Still use it for small files, just loaded a bunch of large .pdf and .cbr files by plugging the iPad into the PC and using iTunes, took seconds.
