*** thank you.
Also, FileNames are showing up now, but without suffixes
Makes it hard to choose if user has multi types of a file normally only distinguished by .txt, .pdf, .doc

"this might be more related to how the integration with the iOS Files app works, since iCloud files appear the same way when viewing via their location in the app."
When you're right, your're right!

Thankyou Jay, this feature was blocking my use of NCH Wavepad to get audio available easily from iphone to other devices. See pics below - Their size seems a little indiscriminate...shows clearly what the controls look like once you hit the ‘files’ icon...

HIT the EDIT then you see this...
Jay. My Dropbox shows only two pages of the pdf of Science magazine (I haber full subscription). I used to view all types of pdf s on my iPad, iPhone and my Mac. Now the files seem to be there at iPad but content does not come up when I click on the pdf. It keeps waiting.
There are no problems with any connections or permissions.
thanks.

Thank you for the response Jane,
This happens on my iPad, where I use the Dropbox Mobile application. As you will see from the screen shot, I have several Science magazines, and I used to open and read them at my Dropbox. I also used access to all my other files (word, excel, etc.) from Dropbox app. I can still access to them without any problems using my iPhone 10. Yet, my iPad (a recent version, with the updated operating system) stopped opening up any of these files, even after I restarted it again and again several times.
Is there a solution?
Thank you.

I have done this same step and am able to get it turned on in Files, but it still does not have that option to attach files from Dropbox.
- Hello,
In file app on IOS why I can’t create folders or move folders? It work not good if comparing with OneDrive or BOX.

Hey there, thanks for joining the discussion!
Can you let me know if you're still having this issue Thomashat9? If so, can you let me know exactly where you're running into an issue?
Can you see the files but not attach them, or are you not able to see Dropbox as an option?
It seems that you're trying to perform an action that isn't currently supported Nguonchandy, you can check out which actions you can perform here.
To create folders, you would need to create folders within the Dropbox mobile app. Also, while you can move files from the Files app, it's not currently possible to move folders.
Let me know what you find!
My Dropbox icon on files app not only disappeared all of a sudden, but could not find on editing.

Hey Fileslover, I hope you're well today!
If you're not seeing the option to enable Dropbox within the Files app, can you send me a screenshot of the options you do see when you tap "Edit" when you're in the Files app "Locations" menu?
Also, which version of the Dropbox mobile app do you have installed?
Keep me posted!
Since a couple of weeks ago, my Dropbox files are not accessible from the Files app on my iPad pro. I have checked the settings, reinstalled the Dropbox app etc but with no success. Works fine in on my iPhone 11.
I can see that others have had this problem and I really would like this to be solved. And please don'r say we should talk to Apple instead, because when you ask them they say it's Dropbox we should contact. as always you get stucked between developers.
Have a great day //Eva Gustafsson
