Dropbox unstable in iPad OS Files App.
The problem I have is that Dropbox seems to crash when running on an iPAD via the apple files app. If I open an application that uses the files app, such as Pages or Final Draft, when saving to the D...
We recently upgraded the syncing experience between the Files and Dropbox and it should be more reliable now. Ensure that your Dropbox app is upgraded to receive the full benefits of this experience!
I’m experiencing the same issue. On ipad pro, the files app freezes when opening dropbox files. Very annoying! Is there any news?

Dropbox StaffHi D4n1, welcome to our Community!
Would it be okay for me to reach out via email, so we can have a closer look into this?
Let me know!
This has been going on for over 6 months with more and more people having to deal with this problem and there seems to be little in the way of effort to actually fix it other than asking people to submit cases. I personally ended up moving to use iCloud for my needs as it works ALWAYS. However as my team continues using Dropbox, I end up having to copy anything over from Dropbox to iCloud using my PC so I can reliably access it from my iPad. The Dropbox integration with the Files app is clearly broken and anyone can reproduce the problem in a matter of a minute or so by loading files. Please get it fixed!
Sure!
I’m sorry to report that the latest update of the dropbox app did not fix the problem.
I also suspect that apple is to blame as well, because they are making the life of every repository other than iCloud impossible these days.
