If the photos have been added to your mobile app with no issues and you’re not close to maxing out your account’s quota, I don’t believe you’d need to upgrade, but we’ll need more info to check this further.

Let me know when you have more details.
I can see the photos in Dropbox, but I cannot access them. I can't open the file, nor can I copy or move the file. I see it and it looks OK, but I can't do anything with it.
