I gave up on Dropbox on ipad ever since using Bittorrent Sync. Dropbox started forcing me to keep their app open (to sync). Not going to happen. Bittorrent sync works like a charm to get the photos/videos off of ipad. I don't see a need for Dropbox anymore.

Bittorrent sync needs to add QR code support to their desktop app so you can get the sync secrets off a device easily.

They also need a more 1-way process, something which will only forward version new files.

I gave up on Dropbox when they hired Condaleeza Rice as a board member and consultant while they build out their solution for shunting everyone's data to the NSA.
