Why isn’t it possible to create file requests from the mobile app?

Hello,

I was surprised to find out that file requests can only be created using the website.

Why wouldn’t this be possible in the mobile app as well?

Thanks,
DBoxTips

    Hi DBoxTips, thanks for posting today!

    You're correct in that file requests can only be created from the Dropbox site directly.

    Currently, this feature isn't available on the Dropbox mobile app.

    We appreciate the feedback on this matter and we do take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox apps and services!
