Stuck scanning photo library

Dropbox has been stuck “scanning your photo library” the last several times I’ve tried to backup my photos. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Hi @akvictor84, thanks for messaging today!

    If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?

    Keep me updated with any progress!

Same above. I’ve reinstalled and restarted my device several times, but the same “scanning your photo library” keeps showing up and nothing gets uploaded.

My Iphone 11 is having the same issue. Stuck at "scanning your photo library".
