Hey PaulTexan, sorry to hear that.
Could you try rebooting your device and/or clearing the app's cache and let us know if this persists?

Hi all, thanks for flagging this with us.
For anyone who's still affected, could you completely uninstall the Dropbox app from your device and re-install it anew?
Let us know of any updates!

Anything else to try. ?
