Yes, In the DropBox app (Android) I cannot view the pdf as the password entry box once clicked in, only flashes the keyboard.
I emailed it to my self and was able to enter the password on my PC - which opened the dropbox site to allow me to open the do c.
On my phone however, when opening the email, I was given a choice of using Chrome or Dropbox to open the link. I chose Chrome and dropbox gave me the message to download the dropbox app- - Chrome would not do the same on Android as it did on Windows, Again I have the dropbox app, so I then chose the Dropbox app to open the file and - I cannot enter a password, unless I could type it within about 1/2 second that the keyboard is visible.
Thanks - Rick

I’m experiencing this problem on a Google Nexus 5X using Android 8.1.0 and running Dropbox version 104.2.6. Is an update still outstanding to fix this?
