    Hey Paula Anthony, thanks for posting here today! 

    Would you like to share some additional info with me in regards your idea?

    Do you suggest integrating Dropbox with your email's inbox? What is the end goal here?

    You also mentioned that you lost some of your content. I'd like some context as to where were the files saved, and how did they disappear.

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

    Not inbox - file folders in my email - I have folders in both gmail and Proton Mail (where all my legal work is stored ) - in the last update it wiped 2.2 GIG of STORED email (I have 10 GIG allotted) so it was nowhere near max - some of the email it wiped were legal docs i tried to go back and find for a client and they were gone!!!!  YIKES! I can't recreate them

    Hey from me too Paula Anthony - could you clarify to which update you're referring and where you're missing your 2.2. GB of data? Is it in Dropbox or your email service provider?
