Many thanks for your patience!
The issue is playing up again -- Doc Scanner in the Dropbox iOS App does not work as usual: uploading of scanned documents is very slow; before it took a couple of seconds, now about 3-4 minutes per document (on any type of network: Wifi, 4G).

Dropbox StaffSorry to hear that gershonj - could you please clear the mobile app's cache and check for pending updates on your mobile device's OS? I'd suggest that you also took a look at your app store to see if there's an update for our app in this case.

On iOS:
To clear your cache, please follow the steps listed below:
- Navigate to the “Personal” tab
- Tap the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
- Select “Clear Cache”
Please note: If you do not see the gear icon on this main page, first click on the icon on the bottom right of the app that says “Account”, “Personal” or your Dropbox Business name. You should see the gear icon on this account page.
On Android:
- Tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
- Select "Settings"
- Select “Clear Cache”
Once this is done then please ensure you log out of the Dropbox application, then restart your device and log back in again.
Let me know of any updates!
