Saving emails in Dropbox
When can we expect to enable us to save directly all emails in Dropbox.
I understand this possible fort attachements but I am and surely not the only one interested in saving automatically emails in Dropbox.
Thanks

Emails are nothing more than files of a particular format. Use a mail client that allows you to export email, and you can already save it to Dropbox. Otherwise, this would be on your chosen mail client to accomplish; not Dropbox. The developers of your mail client can use the Dropbox API to create such functionality.

I do not wand to use Dropbox as an email box.

The only would is to copy and past in a word sheet and then save in Dropbox but this is not quick.

Thanks a lot !
Has Dropbox fixed this yet?
Evernote has had this feature for years.

There's nothing to "fix" because there's nothing broken. You can already export emails from your chosen mail client to Dropbox, if your mail client supports it.
Thanks Super User II.
There is a feature that competing products have, and many users are asking for in this forum and others for years.
Certainly seems like a much needed fix is required.- Fiona

Happy Monday everyone! :coffee:
Just wanted to add this discussion I had about emails saved in Dropbox. If your emails are in Outlook, this might help: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Can-no-longer-save-outlook-emails-to-Dropbox/m-p/376080#M133681 :wink:
