Hi there, Tash41! Thanks for reaching out to us.

 

What kind of document are you trying to highlight?

 

If it's a PDF, you won't be able to highlight it through the Dropbox mobile app; you can, however, do so on our website.

 

Here's how you can do it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

      Hey Tash41!

       

      I just tried on my end, and it seems to work. Would you mind trying through an entirely different browser to see if you notice the same behavior?
