    Sorry for the delay here, Airy.

     

    Can I ask for one more thing? Can you send me a screenshot of the last screen you're in, before the error message comes up?

     

    Because I'm trying to recreate this with my device and it works fine for me, so I want to see if we're missing something.

     

    Thanks!

Hey Airycleere , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Can you tell where this error is coming from? Dropbox or your email app?

 

If you can send us a screenshot, it would be really helpful.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Hannah, think it’s coming from Dropbox. Can I send screenshots on this forum? Don’t see the function.

      Yes, absolutely! When you click on the "reply" button, you should see a little camera icon right above the reply box, to attach your screenshot.

       

      Thanks!
