Email pdf vs sending a link
I want to email a pdf from drop box. It sends a link rather than sending the pdf. The corporation I am sending to will not let them open the link. How do I send the file rather than sending a link...
You cant send direct from Dropbox.
You need to download it first
- Except if you read the thread you'd see it wasnt a Dropbox restriction but an Apple one - and one that was changed over a year ago so it is possible to now do.

You say it is possible now? How? I'm in a iPhone 7 and all updated software and I can't see how to send a PDF from there directly to mail. Let alone a selection.
- Yes please, how can it be done? I was using Quick Edit which works perfectly to send files not links. But alas a recent email from Dropbox states...
"...September 28, 2017, weâll be making some changes to Dropbox that will likely affect the following 3rd party apps linked to your Dropbox account: ShareFile Quickedit. Youâre receiving this email because youâve used these apps at least once within the past month..."
"While weâve informed all developers about our upcoming changes, the developers for the apps listed above have yet to update their apps accordingly. If they donât update their apps before September 28, these apps will no longer be able to access Dropbox. That said, any data already saved in Dropbox wonât be affected and will still be accessible from our official web, mobile, and desktop clients."- Ok finally, you can do it but you need to use iOS Mail to send the attachment.
Here are the instructions...
