Forgive me for jumping in, but I have the same problem: two iPad pro and two iphone 12 devices. All show the same error. Photos display fine in other apps, and OneDrive which has to be installed for work purposes. Dropbox v 316.2.2 on iphone, 316.3.2 on ipad.
photos display fine in dropbox on mac, so I know the files aren’t corrupted.
sincerely
stephen

I’m also having the same problem. Fine until around 2.5 hours ago. Tried updating iOS app on iPad and iPhone. No change. Tried iOS update, no change. I can access Dropbox by logging on via safari and therefore bypassing the app. My wife’s android phone app is fine.

I'm having exactly the same problem, both on my ipad and iphone, iOS 16.3.1. This is since I installed Dropbox 316.3 this morning. My photos are png files but when I try and open them "Couldn't load photo" message is displayed. There was an error loading the file. Try again.

Status says this problem is resolved, but I'm still experiencing the problem. Do the Dropbox support team read these messages and respond accordingly?
- Jlion0292 years agoHelpful | Level 5I am also experiencing this very same issue it started early this morning. I thought hmm okay I’ll try later. Still wasn’t working when I came back. Tried redownloading the app. Made sure it was up to date as well as my iOS. But as of 1 min ago this issue remains and I cannot see any images or download them to my phone.
