When I use the Files app on iOS, the files are converted to an unknown file.
Good morning. When I upload a folder from the file app (iOS) to dropbox, it converts it to an unknown format that cannot be opened (regardless of the contents of the folder). Can you help me? Thank you
Hi Sasamen81,
Good news! Our engineering team has investigating this issue, and we will be implementing a fix in a mobile release in the near future. While I can't give an exact timeline, I can update this thread when the new version is released.
Regards,
Ben

Hi Sasamen81, welcome to our Community!
Do you notice the same behavior, when you try to upload a single file from the Files app on your iOS, to Dropbox? Is the file converted too?
Also, do you get any specific error during the uploading process, or is the process successful?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
- Sasamen81Explorer | Level 3Thanks for the reply. No errors when loading the folder. With any type of file (.pdf-.jpg…) I have no problems. I only see the problem when I load a folder (both empty and containing other subfolders or files)
