Android application doesn't work on latest android (Samsung S23)
Hello!
I'm trying to install the Dropbox application on my smartphone, but unfortunately something goes wrong.
First, as usual, I enter my credentials,
then 2-step verification code,
...
The answer is simple: I just paid for "plus" plan and now all works fine.
But I don't understand, why the application does't simply inform the user about this issue? It really seems like the problem is in application, not in payment, free space or something else.
Hope that dropbox team will add some sort of notification or error screen.
Thank to all! Problem solved.
Hoped, that there would be some changes, maybe updates, but nothing. Just tested - all the same.
But then I've found a comment from april 2022 (to be more precise, it's the top comment on play.market) with exactly the same problem.

"Awful app. It started screen blinkin while login and password is been checked. I had to stop app. When I start it again it shows empty blue screen with white logo and does nothing. Stop adding features, fix bugs. By the way, the desktop app became awful too. It seems that dropbox team attempts to replace operating system and all software that I have. It's a bad idea. Make the best file sync app not another office-photoshop-etc. all-in-one."
It seems that the problem is present for at lest 1 year, but nobody fixes it.

- I have plus and it's still isn't working for me. There's no where it allows me to give permission to access storage or files and media. Permission is already given for everything floating photos. So frustrating!
- Me too. I pay for the plus and have done for several years. But for some reason, despite all possible permissions being granted...it's still telling me to go to phone settings and allow access to storage but that's not an option in permissions on the Samsung s23 Ultra. The app has not backed up any photos since December 2023. But pointless oayi G for something if its not doing what it's supposed to do. Really disappointing after using Dropbox since 2015.
