Dropbox unstable in iPad OS Files App.
The problem I have is that Dropbox seems to crash when running on an iPAD via the apple files app. If I open an application that uses the files app, such as Pages or Final Draft, when saving to the D...
We recently upgraded the syncing experience between the Files and Dropbox and it should be more reliable now. Ensure that your Dropbox app is upgraded to receive the full benefits of this experience!
Add me as another having the problem with iPad Files app locking up when accessing Dropbox. This was bad under ios14 and has become unusable in ios15. I've ended up moving files to icloud storage so I can get work done. That as well as Box and Google Drive seem to work fine. Only Dropbox is exhibiting this. There is also no problem using the Dropbox app to get to the files, only when accessing Dropbox through the File app, I consistently get lockups.
I have to add, it's not just the files app, but any app that wants to access the files.
- I reported this in this thread more than a year ago. Sad to see this still on going,
But glad to report I "fixed" the issue months ago by stopping to use drop box. No issue with using Google Drive, iCloud Drive and One Drive,
I actually save money as I am now using the free versions and use them all as 3 different folders which gives me the capacity I need once combined.
The fact that it split is not an issue since it's all accessible from the same File app. Just wanted to add that I have been experiencing this issue for years. Is Dropbox even aware that this still ongoing? It’s basically useless for any app that tries to read or write to the Dropbox folder because it’s hit or miss with 50% probability. As others have noted, there are no issues using other storage providers.
