Integration with iOs Files app dropping out
I am running an iPad Pro (3rd generation) with iOs 15.1, but I had the same problem with previous versions of iOs as well. I have two issues.
First, I have tried a number of times to add Dropbo...
This is going on since very long: Dropbox Files.app integration sucks, it freezes and crashes frequently as soon as I try to download or upload files (via Files.app). I can’t rely on Dropbox storage anymore this way.
If nothing changes I'll migrate everything to competitors. This is really too much.
I finally had to move my files to google drive. I couldn’t get work done any longer. I still have a Dropbox account because my wife hasn’t moved yet, and I check on this problem from time to time and it still occurs. For what it’s worth, dropbox support contacted me that same as they are you. I got escalated to tier 2. I sent them videos showing what happens. It happens on EVERY file integration as you know, but I just picked one as an example. The tech immediately blamed the other application and closed the ticket. Hope you have better luck but I wouldn’t count on it.
skifanatech I'm gonna give them 30 day to solve this, otherwise I'll move everything to OneDrive.
I really can't work anymore if Dropbox app/sync doesn't work as expected.
- At the end we’ve planned to move to OneDrive: the issue is still there, apparently an app update solved the issue, but did not.
I contacted Support again with a video of the issue but they closed the case as soon as I reported it.

Hey Architetto D., sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please clarify the type of files you're noticing this happen with? Are you perhaps referring to the issue you had reported back in January posted here?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
Hi Walter
This really happens with every kind of file now, it's clearly a background sync issue.
Yes, I'm referring to the same issue I reported back in January and in 2020 also. We're now in 2023 and nothing changed. I now self imposed 30 days to see if this is going to be solved or not, if not I'm sorry but I'll leave Dropbox services.
