I also have this issue. I am trying to use Pages on my iPad 10 and it constantly crashes or loses work. I lost 1500 words one day while writing an essay. I can’t restart my iPad every 10min — that’s not a useful solution. I’ve reinstalled Dropbox already. Not sure what else to do, but I admit this is a highly disappointing issue.

yes I’m still getting the problem regularly and I’ve lost my work too.

The only solution to, that is yes, you guessed it to reboot the iPhone at first I thought it was just me but my wife who has a completely different model of iPhone has exactly the same problem. So this is clearly a software issue. Somehow the dropbox iOS apps just seem to have bugs or us unstable. I too have tried reinstalling apps doesn’t seem to solve the problem.
