iPhone 13, running 16.3.1
Camera uploads was working just fine - then the dropbox App UPDATED while im process of uploading photos.
Now new photos are not uploading - says scanning, then 'backing up x photos' then back to scanning, then same x number photos, and it just goes back and forth like that forever.
I have DELETED the app, reinstalled - took over 1 hour to scan photos again - all previously backed up ones still present, but NEW ONES STILL GET STUCK IN this infinite LOOP of never actually uploading.
Changing wifi networks doesn't help; phone connected to charger doesn't help. Delete and reinstall app doesn't help
The 2nd biggest reason I even USE dropbox is for the camera uploads function and now it's broken.
I have checked everywhere for a stray setting - anything. Not sure what the most recent iphone app upgrade "improved", but it has broken my camera uploads ...
Any other places to check on???
thanks
