Re: Trying to open a file IOS

Trying to open a file IOS

Explorer | Level 3

Hello ! Thank you for the opportunity to share a puzzling issue. I have been a Dropbox for several years without any challenges. The last month or so I have not been able to open a random file ( am running latest iOS version as well as Dropbox. When I try to open or access a random file , I receive an alert shows “ loading “ so am not able to get to my folders or any sub folders. Any thoughts anyone ? Thank you for your help ( btw I cleared cache ,deleted the drop box app , signed out from App Store , turned off the phone , sign back in to App Store , reloaded Dropbox app.

Thanks for the screenshot @100120 - much appreciated.

 

If it's not too much to ask, could you try renaming the file and see if you get the same results?

 

Also, if possible, can you try another network or cellular data perhaps?

Walter. Thank you for your message.
I can try and rename the file. With regards to another network. We only have one wifi. Alternatively we use 5g ?
