    Hi there,

     

    Apologies for the trouble with the Dropbox and Files.app integration. Could you try opening the Files app directly, going into the “Edit” menu in the upper right, then re-enabling the Dropbox integration?

     

    We have heard reports that when people uninstall and re-install the Dropbox app, or when they do an iCloud restore, this integration needs to be re-enabled manually.

     

    Let us know if that works!

Hi, has this feature been implemented yet? I used to be able to attach dropbox files using the iOS mail app but ever since upgrading to the iPhone X, I can't seem to do it anymore.

I don't think this is a new feature since it seemed to be working with previous iOS versions? I tried reinstalling the Dropbox app but that did not help.

Thanks!

I agree with @Revvaloon.  This is not a new ask as I have an iPhone X and have always been able to attach dropbox files to apple mail until very recently.  It wasn't after an update (that I can recall) it just happened.  I've had the iPhone X since last year and up till a few weeks ago it stopped working
