Thanks for the update here, karkness.
Are you on the most recent version of both your iOS/iPap OS and the Dropbox app on your devices?
If not, can you try updating them, to see if that helps?

Hi karkness, keep us updated with any changes. What file types are you trying to open on the mobile devices?

I have a large recipe folder, so these are all recipes that I’ve saved using the name of the recipe. But it would be basic file documents. I’ve updated both my iPad and iPhone to the latest software and I’ve deleted the Dropbox app on both devices and reloaded it. Those things haven’t helped. When I open Dropbox, I have the recipe folder, but many of the different recipes files only show “No preview available” now.
