Cannot see all Dropbox file on iPhone.

Postby jeffdebrugges » 08 May 2019 20:23

On my iPhone X,when I use "cloud services" and go into Dropbox to download, I can only see one folder. The weird part is that up to one week ago I could see all of them. I did not change anything with dropbox or vlc. Even if I create a new folder in dropbox, it does not show up in VLC.

I contacted dropbox about this and they said it was a problem with vlc.

I hope someone can help.

I have the same issue, VLC is only seeing some of my dropbox folders, I have the same issue on iPad and iphone. I’ve restarted both devices, uninstalled Dropbox and VLC from both iPad and iPhone. Still can’t see all of my Dropbox folders.

Is there a pattern which folders you can see and which you can't? Note that VLC cannot show folders shared with you through other accounts.

No it seems pretty random as to which folders it can see

Just found a temporary solution
because VLC shows only old folders, I've made them "new" by renaming. Just added "-" in the end of each folder on PC and removed back. And after syncing VLC start showing them in list
