    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

Hi everyone, are you still experiencing the same issue on your devices regarding accessing images via the Photos tab?

I do have the same problem. No photos shown on Iphone. App is new loaded and current ( 396.2.6) Cache deleted. Enough storage on the device. Problem since a few days, it worked before. Pictures are downloaded to the device in Folders ( Dateien) but do nothing shos up in photos. On other devices the pictures are shown in dropbox. I assume it is not a user problem. Please fix it. Thanks Frank

      DBX_Pedro  Thank you for the update it is appreciated .... However this issue was first reported on Friday, why has it taken Dropbox so long to note that there is a problem.... ?

        DBX_Pedro Thank you

         

        Charlie Windsor Hey everyone deserves a weekend break. Just be grateful they’ve now acknowledged the problem and will hopefully fix it promptly. Take the win.

         

        chrisrazzell As the original poster I thank you too for raising the issue. Has this been resolved for you on your other devices as well as your iPad ? Is that why you’ve gone quiet ?

         

        To everyone else reporting the same issue, well done, the power of the crowd could not be ignored, hang in there and wait for the fix.  But be ready to roar again if no solution is forthcoming.
