How to send a pdf from Mac files to Dropbox?

Hi all! I have an iPad and an iPhone and I can send a file/pdf to dropbox from them by hitting the share icon (the rectangle with the arrow pointing up). It's not working that way on my MacBook Pro. ...

I’m not asking how to copy or move I’m asking how I can get the feature within the pdf to work to forward the pdf to Dropbox on my laptop. Like it does on my phone and tablet.

Hi LeslieT, could you clarify which Share button you're tapping? Is this in the PDF app, the Dropbox app, or something else?

 

What options do you currently get when tapping Share? A screenshot showing this in your next reply would help greatly.

    It is in the pdf app. I don’t see a way to attach a screenshot.

    You can click the camera icon in the reply to attach a screenshot, or you can just copy and paste it in your reply.

    I don’t have this options when I reply. I just have this message box here and buttons that say cancel or reply and in between a menu that says additional options. When I open additional options there is a box checked for email me when someone replies.

    No camera or other buttons.

    Are you navigating from a mobile browser instead of a desktop?

     

    If you can't attach a screenshot, describe all the options you see when tapping the Share button.
