Image uploads - Suddenly capped at 400?
I work with several hundred image files at once. I’m using my iPad Pro which has plenty of storage. I went to upload 852 image files (something I have done regularly for years using the Dropbox app) ...
Hi all, I'm a mobile product manager. We recently discovered that there was an issue on Apple's end that was causing bulk uploads to hang/never complete. As a mitigation, we capped the uploads to 400 at a time so that users wouldn't encounter this problem.
This is a temporary fix on our end while we work with Apple to get this issue resolved. They've said that this is a non-trivial bug and may take some time to fix on their end, so your patience is greatly appreciated. At this time, we don't have a timeline, but we'll touch base when we do.
Thanks!

I have been experiencing the same thing trying to upload photos from my iPhone for the past several days. Hoping someone has a fix.

Dropbox StaffHi CRLChris & KS1124, thanks for posting here!
As a first step, can you clarify the OS that you're using on your iPad and iPhone, along with the Dropbox version installed on the device?
Also, do you use camera uploads, or manually uploading files by pressing the + button?
If you have a screenshot of the message you get when trying to upload the content to Dropbox, feel free to attach it here.
Keep me posted!
Hey I recently started having the same issue and it started Monday sept 25 2023 all of sudden got this message on my iPad Pro I have never seen before and won’t let me select more than 400 photos at a time, is there any way around this? It was a much smoother process to upload everything at once
Thank you for posting this! I haven’t had time to recreate it.
I also have that same message about the 400 photos. I am using an iPhone, version 16.7, Dropbox Plus, and using the + sign in the bottom middle of the screen. Thanks!
- I put a ticket in with them, but no response yet other than “looking into it”.
This is obviously a new “feature” that the developers decided was a good idea for some interesting reason. I can’t imagine what their thought process was. Maybe they thought it was an issue impacting mobile on 4/5G? But then why lock it down for Wi-Fi as well?
Seems like they decided to fix something that wasn’t broken. Maybe they will give us a way to turn it off.Hi all, I'm a mobile product manager.
