Hi Everybody,
This should be fixed with the newest release, and the workaround should no longer necessary. Please update your apps and let us know if the access request persists.

Still seeing this issue on app v358.2.2 (12-Dec-23) where it keeps asking for storage permissions to enable camera uploads even though it already has Permissions to access Photos and videos. The workaround to remove all perms first etc. works.
Thanks for the workaround, James.
Note that it was still necessary for me today. I have the current version (not fixed as of the latest release as suggested last month).
I just got a new phone today and it installed dropbox so assuming its the newest version, updated to android 14 and went to set up my dropbox app and still had this problem. galaxy s23 work around fixed the issue.
This is still an active ongoing issue as of today, 3 months after you said a fix would be issued. Thank goodness I found @James S.5 fix above today.
That's numberwang!
I've updated the newest version, still had the same problem. But thanks to the above tip it works again!
problem still exists
