Thank you for your assistance.
Figured I would give you an update. Upgrading to ios 14.1 has fixed the issue.

Hi there ProHome, I hope you're having a good day so far!
Just to make sure that we're on the same page, can you let me know the exact steps you're taking when you run into this issue?
Also, please send me a screenshot of the error that you're getting.
Keep me posted!

I have items saved in my dropbox account for testing purposes.
I can use a program called PDFExpert or Adobe Acrobat to open the file for editing. They can both see the files/folders just fine in dropbox.
I edit the document in one of those PDF editors and save it back to dropbox.
Then I load Chrome to access our website and upload the document into our system. When I click on Select Files, it shows these locations where the files are set to be accessed by the system on the left. Dropbox and Google Drive are both options available. If I click on either one of them, I get "Content Unavailable - The folder contents could not be displayed because of an unknown error - Try again"
It says this when trying to access the folders/files through Chrome, and it also says it when just trying to access Files directly on the iPad through the Files app. So I do not think it is a Chrome issue.Since Adobe and PDFExpert can both see the folders/files, I was thinking it might not be 100% an ios 14 issue either? Don't know if ios 14 has changed how the folder/file retrieval works? So, just checking where I can to get it resolved/get answers.
ios: 14.0.1
Dropbox: 208.2.12
Chrome: 86.0.4240.77

Thanks for those screenshots ProHome!
Out of curiosity, if you navigate to the Files app and download one of the files from Dropbox locally (by tapping on the file), are you then able to see it when choosing to upload the file to the website?
Otherwise, are you only able to choose files stored locally on your device, from the On My iPad section?

Nothing ever shows up. I'm not able to upload anything to it either in Files.
Now checking again, Files is not showing me anything from any of the folder areas currently??
I think ios 14.0.1 has issues.
