Email attachments to Dropbox not working

I have set up the option to email attachments to my Dropbox folder and have tried several times and from different email addresses but nothing is ever showing up in the designated Dropbox folder.

Any help with this would be gratefully received!

    Yes, I have been. It seems it's a Mac Mail issue rather than the feature not working.

    Hey BA47 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this. 

    Can you confirm that you're referring to the feature outlined here? 

    Any additional information and clarifications are more than welcome!

    Are you sending the message directly to the Dropbox-generated email address, or are you using a forwarding email? It will only work if you send the message directly to the email address generated by Dropbox.

    It is, Walter... however on your link, I saw that MacMail isn't supported which is what I was using.

    I have tried through my phone, not on Mac Mail and that seems to be working now.

     

    Thank you
