Why aren't my photos appearing in the mobile app?

If you don't see some of your photos on the Photos tab, they might be missing information about when they were taken.

A digital photo usually has various pieces of information embedded in it, including the date and time it was taken. Dropbox uses this information to arrange your photos. If a photo's date is missing or incomplete, Dropbox will not display it on the Photos tab.

You can still access photos with missing dates on the file browser tab. And just like any other photo in your Dropbox, you can share photos with missing dates and add them to albums.

Here are some other reasons why your photos or images might not appear on the Photos tab:

• We filter out image files that are less than 15 KB or that are in .png format. These are usually icons or thumbnails, so we assume you don't want them cluttering up your Photos tab.
• If you're a Dropbox Business user, remember that the Photos tab will only display photos that are stored in your personal Dropbox.

If you don't see some of your photos on the Photos tab at first, scroll down to the Missing dates section and take a look there.
