2 years agoHey ilyasnsir - sorry to jump in here, but have you tried clearing the app's cache since you first noticed this?

Did this start happening after a specific update of the Dropbox app, or has it always been like this more or less?
If the issue persists after clearing the app’s cache (and you’re also using iOS), please follow these steps to reinstall the app:
1) Uninstall the Dropbox App
2) Sign out from the App Store
3) Restart your device
4) Sign into the App Store
5) Download and Install Dropbox
6) Try to sign into your Dropbox account
Let me know if that seems to help.

Nancy - I followed those steps and GIFs still do not consistently load. This started in the past week or two with the most recent iOS app versions.
