Unable to Save to Photo Library
Recently my mobile dropbox has been unable to save photos to my photo library on my iPhone 5s. I have never had a problem with this before and am now not sure what to do. I have tried to download multiple pictures with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I just experienced this for the first time. Sucessfully exported several photos to my camera roll (as I have been doing for years with the Dropbox app), and suddenly one got the error. Then all subsequent tries on any other photos got the error. Quit the app, turned phone on and off. No dice. Plenty of space on the phone, internet connection fine, settings in Dropbox to allow use of cellular data.
What solved it was updating the app. Perhaps folks who experiece this while on the latest version would have to actually delete and reinstall the app to get rid of this problem.
Same thing has been happening to me as well. When I attempt to save a picture from Carousel to my camera roll, I get this message:
Save Photo Failed
There may be a problem with your internet connection. Please try again.
I asure you, there are no issues with my internet connection. This started about a week ago. I thought maybe the update to iOS 9 would help, however still the same. I can email pictures directly from Carousel, but that's not the most convenient way to get pictures back.

iOS 9
I'm having the same issue, dropbox app no longer allows me to save my photos to the camera roll
The same thing is happening to me. It's driving me insane as I upload all my photos (to save space) and download as needed. This started before I updated to iOS 9, and I thought it may get sorted updating - but oh no... I really hope Dropbox/Carousel pull their finger out ASAP before I figure out how to send my photos elsewhere...
- I found a fix, transferred all my photos over to google photos app. Works great, downloads no problem, easy uploads, frustrations solved.
Clear room in you account, take apps off or upload them and it will work great.

Hi there everyone,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having issues with uploading your photos to your Dropbox account.
From Carousel, please try:
-Installing the latest build
- Toggling background upload of your photos from the "Settings"
For Camera Uploads from within the app, please try:
- Installing the latest build of the Dropbox app
- Toggling to enable for background upload
Many thanks and let me know how you get on...

Can you clarify what you mean by photo library please?
I get the exact same message, cannot save, share, etc. It just recently happened after uploading to iOS 9. This happens on an iPhone 6.
It actually started happening to me about a week before iOS 9 update.
Same issue here on iPhone 6 plus. Carousel says "Save Photo Failed. There may be a problem with your internet connection. Please try again" I have tried and tried and still unable to save a single or any photos to my iphone from the Carousel app. There is no connection problem nor storage issue with the iphone. Google photos (an excellent alternative app by the way !!) has no such problems and I can save photos from their app to my iphone. Is dropbox/Carousel going to fix this issue?
I am getting the exact same error. Had it on my iPhone 5 and now my 6 plus. Perfect internet connection, plenty of storage, same error constantly. I have tried on multiple wifi connections (home, work, in-laws, etc).
EDIT:
For reference, I have made sure that Carousel has access to my Photos app. I figured it did since it would upload, but wanted to make sure.
