Solution from Dropbox support: install the updated app, version 270.2.4. Once I did that, the Dropbox app on my Android works normally again.

Debra B:
Here is the solution that DropboxSupport on Twitter suggested for this issue:
Clear your cache on your Dropbox app on your device: - Go to the settings app on your home screen. - Tap on to "App & Notifications". - Tap on to "Apps". - Select the Dropbox App. - Once you are on the Dropbox App Info, Tap on "Storage". - On the Cache section press "Clear Cache".
Reinstall the Dropbox app: - Uninstall the Dropbox app. - Turn your device off (power it all the way off) and on (do not restart). - Download and Install Dropbox. - Try to sign into your Dropbox account. If these steps make no difference whatsoever, we'd like to have one of our colleagues log a ticket for this on your behalf. In that case, we will need to know the e-mail address you use for Dropbox.
However, in my case it did not work. Therefore, they are opening up a trouble ticket for my problem, separate from the forum or the Twitter feed. I hope the above procedure works for you, but if not, you can contact @DropboxSupport on Twitter for further assistance. Best wishes.

Yeah, didn't work for me either.
I am trying to get a ticket opened via their Twitter support, and I will be researching alternatives.

Best wishes. I will post the solution I receive from DropboxSupport on this thread once I receive it and once it works.
