Hi,
The Dropbox app version is 321.1.4. There was an Android security update on March 5, I'm not sure if that's when the problem started.

Thanks for clarifying!
Now, it sounds like your Dropbox app is currently on the beta app version (321.1.4).
Can you please follow these steps to opt out of early releases on your device, and then install the latest stable app version of Dropbox?
I’d like to see if you’ll notice any difference there.

Hi, it's been 3 weeks since this issue was first raised, and we still haven't heard anything back.
Is anyone following through? Can we get any updates or ideas of what to expect, i.e. is this a difficult problem that will take one year to solve? Or is it not a priority and won't ever be addressed?
Who is in charge of such issues, and who do I contact to request that it be addressed?
Has anyone else here found a good alternative to Dropbox, paid or not, that allows easy touch-and-go Android access to synced MD files? Thanks everyone else.
