Export Option Unavailable
No Export Option
Hi. Up until a week ago, I always had the 'Export' option when clicking on the ... ellipse at top right hand corner of an opened Dropbox file on my iPad and iPhone. I like to e...
Aha - thanks, Lucil. Because 'Share' had always been an different option to 'Export', I didn't think of checking it out, and I never would think of copying to iBooks as "sharing" (with myself).
If Dropbox wants to 'drop' an option like Export without specifically telling users, and if that issue can be got around another (slightly less intuitive) way, then I guess that its call. I'm happy I can do what I want with the file ('send'/share to iBooks).
Thanks again

Um nope. Not fixed at all. On my iPhone 12 running ios 14.6, I use the Export fx in Dropbox to export my MP3s of audiobooks to VLC to listen to them through a Bluetooth speaker. Running Dropbox 240.2.4, running VLC version 3.2.13. Cache cleared. There A) when you click the 3 dots is NO export and WORSE B) when you click SHARE there is NO export, only "copy link" and "invite to folder." To say I'm angry is an understatement. This is ludicrous.
- I’m having the same issue. It is not an option under share either.
