On opening app it says "Dropbox is updating, sit tight. We'll let you know when it's done." Shows this screen for 5 seconds or so.
Then a screen that shows "Dropbox was updated, your admin updated Dropbox and reorganized some shared folders." Had a button that says "take a look"
When I hit the button then it goes to the home screen where it should show the files and gives the message that says "can't connect to Dropbox. Make sure your connected, or try again later"

I am able to access files through the browser. Which leads me to believe it's not a permissions issue.
