Dropbox StaffHey, there!! I got fresh news!
This morning I reported the issue to Apple support in my country. The very kind man in the phone took note of everything the problem was, and promised he will keep me informed about the evolution.

One picture at a time? Or a group?

Yes, you're right. Shortcuts access to Dropbox folders is not working right now. Sorry. It seems to be a bug derived from the update to IOS 14.
I found several commentaries in reddit forums reporting the same problem.

This kind of bugs use to be quickly fixed. I hope so.
