Hey Stephen - sorry to hear about this.
As a last step, could you please try to clear the cache on your app and then sign out and back into your Dropbox account?
To clear your cache, please follow the steps listed below:
1. Navigate to the “Account” tab
2. Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the screen
3. Select “Clear Cache”Once this is done then please ensure you log out of the Dropbox application one last time and then restart your device and log back in again.
Let me know ifLet me know if you're still stuck with the "waiting to upload" message and I'll reach out via email to your Dropbox associated address so we can work on it together.
Thanks!
PS: I'm assuming that you've already updated your mobile's OS and our mobile application to their latest versions, right?

Hi! I am experiencing the same problem at the moment (since yesterday). I have tried clearing my cache, signing out of dropbox, and restarting my iphone, again and again. I have good internet connection at home. Still, not working. I am unable to upload my photos now. Please help.
