    Hey Jodes, let's try one more step, please.

     

    Feel free to uninstall the app, reboot your phone, then re-install. If this doesn't work, take a screenshot of the error message you get, and send it back to me here, so I can have visual too.

Hi Jodes, I'd be happy to help! 

 

How  exactly do you upload the images? Do you use the camera upload feature, or manually by clicking the + button? 

 

Have you tried restarting your phone, by any chance? 

 

Let me know more!

@Megan I have restarted my phone. I have tried uploading directly from the image and get error messages. I’ve tried doing it from the Dropbox end and get the same error.

Dropbox has asked me twice now to report the problem which I have but nothing has changed and there’s no actual ‘contact us’ for Dropbox so I’m wondering if I should stop using them and go to another similar service.

    Hey Jodes, what is the OS of your mobile app, and what about the version of the Dropbox app that you have installed there? 

     

    You mentioned you get an error, can you let me know what the error is, please?

      Hi Megan 

      Dropbox version 294.2

      software for phone 15.6.1

      There is no error code, it just says 'couldn't upload file, can you give us more details so we can fix it?' which I've been doing now for days and it isn't fixed. After I get that one it's 'couldn't load file. Sorry, an error occurred. Please try again later'.

        Hey Jodes, do you use camera uploads to sync your content? 

         

        Have you tried to clear your app's cache? If not, can you try accessing your Dropbox settings, and giving it a go?
