"Waiting to upload" error on the Dropbox app on Android

I have the same 'Waiting to upload' issue on my Galaxy S24 with the latest app version. So far, the only workaround is uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Hello, Hannah.

Unfortunately, no other options work, except re-installing the app whenever I need to upload photos.

    Hey SJMZR let me jump in here too! 

    How do you upload files? Do you use manual uploads, or camera uploads? 

    Also, how long has this been an issue? Can you send me a screenshot of the message you get on your end when this happens, in order for me to have a visual?

    Thanks!

      Hello, Megan!

      I upload files manually. This issue is bothering me for a month or so.

        Approximately how much content (in MB or GB) are you uploading each time, SJMZR?

        If you try to upload less files at a time, do you still have this issue?
