I have the Dropbox app on my iPhone 10, and most of the time I cannot open Dropbox files (of all types) through the app - I just get the spinning wheel forever.
I have been able to open some files here and there - and there is no pattern if I am on WiFi or offline. 90% of the time, the files don’t open either way ... but I do have one here and there that will open.

Same problem here
- My file loading issue was resolved by updating iPhone and iPad to iOS 12.1.3. Didn’t know there was a new iOS update. Hope that works for others.
Thanks all for this thread! I had been checking for an update and none were available ... but I just looked again today and I see 12.1.3 is there. I will give this a shot. Hopefully it resolves the issue on my end as well.
- I did the update and it seems to have sorted things out. Hopefully this was the fix that was needed.
