- Click on the three ...'s top right
Click on 'Export' or 'Save to Camera Roll' (or similar).
Export may also give you option to send to WhatsApp.

You'll need to open Dropbox in Safari browser (not the Dropbox app) on your iPhone, then download the file and then finally you can attach it in Whatsapp.
- Kix7 years agoNew member | Level 2Hi, I followed this advice but it says it’s unable to save to my camera roll. It also only send the information as a link to WhatsApp and not the photos. Does anyone know how to resolve this please?

Open a conversation in Whatsapp
Click on the “+” sign and select “Document”
You will be able to browse different locations for your documents including Dropbox. If Dropbox doesn’t appear on the list click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and select “Edit”.
The system will allow you to select which locations to display on the list, you may also organiza the list to appear in your preferred order. Click “Done” and close that menu.
On the edited list choose Deopbox as your location and browse to the document you want to attach.
When the document is visible on your screen click on “Send”.
