    Hey all,

     

    Quick update on this. We've made some changes on our side that should improve the success rate for saving files to your Dropbox via the Gmail Chrome addin. The underlying cause behind the degradation in performance appears to be caused by an issue with attachment links that Gmail is providing us, so we've reached out to them to try and resolve this fully. 

     

    As always, once I have more information to share I'll loop back here with an update!

Hi all,

 

Thanks everyone for your patience while we continue to investigate this one. We still unfortunately don't have a root cause for why this is happening, but have been able to reproduce the problem on our side which should help us identify the underlying cause faster. 

 

Apologies for any frustration caused, please be assured that we are working in the background to get this resolved and I will loop back here once we have an update.

 

Thanks,

Frank
