Photos folder/tab is empty & camera uploads is the only place I can find my files
My Photos folder is empty but uploaded photos are chowing only in Camera Uploads, this only changed today. help please?
Hi Everybody,
Thank you so much for reporting that everything is back to normal. Our engineering team implemented a fix that should restore visibility of photos in the Photos tab. If you're still experiencing any issues, let us know and I'll make sure that information is passed along.
Thanks,
Ben
I am having exactly the same issue - I spotted it just after midnight after I had finished uploading a bunch of photos. There is nothing appearing in the photos section on my iPhone, iPad or laptop. You get a rotating square going round and round. The desktop version says “connecting to server”, then “this may take a moment”, then “almost there”. But nothing!!!
I've also tried logging out and logging back in again as was suggested in the Help files. No dice. It's now been four days of this. Please don't make me switch to Google Drive. I really like how Dropbox works WHEN IT WORKS. I pay quite a bit of money for this service and I think it should work ALL THE TIME.
I am also having the same problem since the beginning of October, I have two androids, Samsung S21 Ultra and Samsung Note 8, both have the same problem, but on the Mac I see all the photos as I also do when I use the Mac. I have logged out and re-logged in on one, but still the same message. I am using only 10% of my purchased 2TB and have also cleared the cache on the App. What else can I do?
- Same error.
In my case, both Android phones Samsung S21 Ultra and Samsung Note 8 started to display the photos correctly again last night without my intervention, seems Dropbox have solved at least the problem for me. 🙂
Working for us on the IOS devices - website photo indexing is happening at a glacial pace - too slow to be of any use at present.
