Hey,

So, i went on it again today.
I have many emails, and my Dropbox is linked with one i don't use much.
Basically, when i want to attach an item on my other emails, it doesn't work. But for some reason, when i attach it to the one i have an account with, it works.

Again, this wasn't the case before, i think, last summer.

I took some screenshots, but i don't see where i can upload them.

Hi AdyShearer, are you following these steps to attach files in the Gmail app?

 

Regarding your screenshots, the camera icon allows you to attach images, or you can copy and paste them into your next reply.

    Which steps? 

    It's the same thing. 

    I didn't have the camera option on my normal phone mode. I had to put it in desktop mode.
