Dropbox Transfer on the mobile app

Please add Dropbox transfer access to the mobile app. I expected to be able to access ALL of my files I have on Dropbox from my phone, including those I have to transfer to my clients. Once they pay their invoice, I send them files and I can’t do that on my phone anymore since I switched to Dropbox.

    Hey Britts - thanks for posting on our Community!

    This should be possible both on iOS and Android devices. Can you confirm that you're following these steps for me please?

    Thanks!

    Hey. That only works for things already in my dropbox folders, or new files from my phone. I upload zip files to dropbox transfer and send them to my clients that way because it's branded. I don't have access to anything I have uploaded to dropbox transfer on my phone. Only can see things in my dropbox folders. That's my problem with it, I cant see my past transfer uploads that I still have to send as a link once invoices are paid.

    So I guess a workaround is to upload these items to my dropbox and then transfer a copy - I just didn't think my custom branding would show up that way. Just a little inconvenient that I don't have access to all my uploads, and I will have to re-upload to see things on my phone.
