    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.

Hey there halmaclean, just dropping in here!

 

While this isn't currently a feature, I can suggest posting this in our dedicated area of the Community here, as a request for this to be added.

 

That area allows others to browse the suggestions made by others and show their support by upvoting.

 

Hope this helps to some extent!

I would also find this very useful. Info in received emails should be able to directly be forwarded to my Dropbox account to a “email” general and then I can go in and put them in a specific folder.  Currently I am using Evernote for this but would like all my “stuff” in together.

    At the time this thread was created, no such feature existed within Dropbox. That is no longer the case.
