Meghan, here is my ticket
Ticket #21247215: Dropbox Support Chat
my email is [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
I have all the same frustrating issues and have tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no help. Anything you can do to help resolve this. If I can’t resolve it, I will need to use another storage app. This is so difficult to use to work.
thx you,
Deborah

I've also had this same thing happening for a couple years, on both an older iPad Pro as well as a new iPhone Pro. Both are running the latest OS. No, I'm not submitting a ticket. There's plenty of other replies here that have already explained well enough what is going on. It happens all the time when you try to interact with Dropbox via iOS' native Files app.
If anyone at Dropbox really wanted to fix it, they could easily replicate the issues just by using their own app for a day in iOS and try manipulating some files via the Files app. Try moving, copying, etc. It really doesn't take much to trigger the issues, and often times once it starts, it can only be resolved by deleting and reinstalling the Dropbox app. - Dfmountainside2 years agoExplorer | Level 3No one has responded to me and nothing I’ve done that was suggested has solved the problem
