Dropbox will not allow files to be opened, says needs update. Cannot see how to update the app.

You should be able to find the relevant option in the app's settings
On your Android device, follow these steps:
1. Tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
2. Select "Settings"
3. Select “Clear Cache”Once this is done then please ensure you log out of the Dropbox application, then restart your device and log back in again.

Thanks for the updates stephenbigcuddles, and hi rrierson and st888888!
Can you please try to clear your Dropbox app’s cache and reinstall it on your devices? Are you seeing any difference after that?
