Cannot upload from Box ios app

The box ios app doesn't work for uploading files anymore. It used to work and now no longer works. If I try to upload a picture from my photo album to Box, I get "Syncing - 1 remaining 1 Error" and then if I click the notice "Sync Activity IMG_8299.JPG Uploading Unsuccessful". It's pretty horrifying that I pay for Box but cannot get technical support. You have a bug in your app. Fix it. I pay for Box. 

I can upload via Chrome if I get to my desktop computer. But I PAY FOR BOX and I should be able to upload via the app and cannot. 

Truly unbelievable.

    I have tried this "answer" multiple times but my uploads continue to fail. I have large video files anywhere from 3-7 GB that I need to upload from my phone. My employer and I mirror the frustration of the OP. Yes, the uploads work fine from a desktop web browser interface but I need to be able to do it from my phone and it has yet to work.  My colleague literally turned off the screen lock and left the app open for 2 days only to have the upload fail. Uploads have been attempted from various iPhones (12, 13 & 14) all with the latest iOS and the latest version of the app. 

    If there is another way to upload from a phone without using the buggy app - let me know.

    I am having trouble uploading video and photo's, and also tried this solution to no avail. Has there been another way to fix this? I need this part of the prgram to work for my job, every day.

    Same issue here, I had to try to re upload the photos and videos several times. Why does the issue persist?
