Welcome to our forum, jbest101! Let’s have a look.
If you add a file to your iPhone now, and check your Dropbox account again a bit later, can you see it uploaded, or no new files appear at all?
Also, if you happen to encounter the same message again, I’d like a screenshot of it.
What you can also try is to clear the Dropbox app’s cache, and reinstall it on your mobile device.
Let me know, if any of that helps.

Here is a screenshot of the message.
Hoping you can help get this solved.

Thanks for the screenshot! Did you also try my suggestion to clear the Dropbox cache, and reinstall the app? If yes, did it seem to help a bit?

How do I clear the cache?
And do I need to reinstall the desktop app? Or something on my phone?
