Attaching a file from Dropbox Backup to an email

Hi GaleAbraham, thanks for messaging the Community.

Are you referring to downloading a file from the Dropbox Backup page, or something else?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,

Thank you for responding. I'm a new user of Dropbox. To use it, there are two things that I cannot find how to do:

1. Attaching a file from Dropbox Backup to a yahoo email.

2. My files on Dropbox are not sorted. I Sign in to dropbox.com, click All Files on the left side bar, and cannot find "the column header title to sort Ascending or Descending".

Your assistance is appreciated. Abe

You can access your Dropbox Backup from this page, and then download files to your computer to then attach to an email.

When you click the All Files on the left, on the right column, you can click the column titles themselves to sort by alphabetical order, or modification date and 'who can access'

Jay, I Sign in to dropbox.com, click All Files on the left side bar, and cannot see "on the right column", that I "can click the column titles themselves to sort by alphabetical order, or modification date and 'who can access'". I only see in gray color "Only you have access".

Is it possible that you send a Print Screen to my email [email removed as per Community Guidelines] Thanks

Hey GaleAbraham, here you can see on the left part of the screen the Name column when accessing All files. And this is on the left, when you click Modified. Can you click on them, and modify how you want to sort your content?

Megan,

When I sign in and click All Files, I do not get what you display.

Please indicate to me in details the steps, starting from signing in to Dropbox.com (including step 1-2-3...), how to get to this screen that you display part of it, in which I can MODIFY and SORT the files, and have a complete Print Screen of what you display only part of the screen.

Thanks, Abraham

There are no steps. You just need to click All Files and that's the page you get.

I do not get what you display.

Perhaps it would be best if you showed a screenshot of what you see, so we can understand it better.

My problem is that I need to sort the files by name, a b c, not by dates.

I have plenty of files and I don't remember the dates. I need the files to be sorted by name.

How do I do it?

Hey GaleAbraham, can you send us a screenshot of your file names, and how they appear at the moment? 

Hi Megan,

After playing with it, I finally achieved what I wanted, abc name ascending files' list. I'm not sure how I made it. I don't feel that the app is friendly. So, no more touch.

Is there an online Dropbox instruction manual?

Anyhow, Thanks, Megan
