Thanks Hannah, I think you're right. I get the same behaviour in all the FILES app locations. I also posted identical request in the Apple iPad forum:

But posted here partly because I wasn't 100% sure I could rule out Dropbox but also hoping other Dropbox users who also have iPads could advise if they had same issue.

Hey Terry P., thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
This looks like it's coming from your OS and not Dropbox.
Do you only see these pop-ups when trying to edit .txt files in Dropbox? How about other locations in the files app?
Keep me posted.
