    Dropbox has no such function, but there are a couple third-party services that can accomplish that. Do a Google search for "email files to Dropbox" and you'll find them.

I have to agree that sending emails to save in Dropbox is a missed opportunity and recognition of user requirements. For instance, there may be precious emails from family or friends I want to save. There could be emails for thank yous, recognition, helpful information, team pictures, medical information - actually the reasons are limitless. Having terabyte storage and not being able to maximize paying for this space is a disappointment and shortsighted. If anyone should find a safe alternative to get them in Dropbox please let me know. Also, not everyone uses just a computer. So drag and drop is not an option on iPad.
