Thanks for the additional info, Capellmeister.
It might be an iOS issue, but just to check, can you also delete the Dropbox app, restart the device and then reinstall it and let me know what you find?

Thank you for your message. I have restarted the iPad multiple times, without success. Clearing the cache doesn't help either. Perhaps more a problem with iOS than with Dropbox?

Dear Hannah. I did what you suggested and the problems seems to be solved! Hurray! Thank you!
- Capellmeister2 years agoExplorer | Level 4Just to inform you that the problem came back. However, this occurs only when I use Dropbox offline, without internet connection.

Hey Capellmeister - sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify your device's OS version and the version of the mobile app installed there as well?
Could you try using another network or cellular data perhaps?
While we're at it, have you tried adjusting your home screen via the palette icon to see if that helps improve matters?
- Capellmeister2 years agoExplorer | Level 4Dear Walter. Thanks for your suggestions. I’ve done all that and nothing helps. However, when I go back to the Home Screen without closing Dropbox and then go back to DB, the top bar reappears. So, I guess this is a DB issue instead of in iOS issue? For both, I’m on the last version.
