Astro File Manager & Dropbox

[James Elliott]

I am trying to help a friend with a LenovoTB-X104F tablet. running Android 8.1.0. She has both Astro and Dropbox installed. The Dropbox app is working perfectly and Astro works perfectly when accessing locally stored files. However, when her Dropbox is added to Astro and any attempt to access the Dropbox files through Astro is made, it always returns the error message "Astro has encountered an unexpected problem..." Has anyone out there encountered this behaviour and, if so, how did you fix it or work round it?

Not with my dropbox accounts I know of this problem, Astro does not sound familiar with me..... But honestly my Dropbox no matter how I use it, I it does not give me that error message...

why not just access dropbox thru the dropbox app? what is she trying to do? you can also download whatever file within dropbox to the device and then use the file manager to access the downloaded file.

Yep.
Cutout the middle man (Astro)
And just use Dropbox.
Sounds like Astro has an issue connecting to Dropbox, that's something you can inquire to the developer of Astro.
