    Hi jelteliekens,

Hi domhof,

I didn't work on this feature so I asked the people who did for you. They said Apple 'broke' doc picker in iOS 11 (or maybe it is deprecated/no longer supported), and it will not work unless you implement file provider. We have not released our file provider extension yet so that's why users see this issue.

As an update, the release with our file provider is still in review. Sorry for the delay. We really want this out too!

Is this why I can’t add attachments to emails on my phone and iPad now?  Did Apple do this so 

I have to quit Dropbox? 

 

Do you have an estimated time (hopefully in hours,because I am out of business till this works again) when the fix comes?

 

thanks!
