    Hi there, we’re assuming you’re referring to the iOS Mail app, not the Mac OSX app.
     
    Have you installed the Dropbox mobile app, and does the Dropbox folder appear on the Files app on your iPad?
     
    If not, could you confirm what version of iOS you’re running on the iPad, and what version of the Dropbox app is installed?
     
    Thanks in advance!

Hi Jay,

Please let me know which Files App you are referring to as I am also unable to attach any files from Dropbox to mails on an iPhone. Thanks so much

Hi Mia, what version of iOS are you running on your iPhone?

The iOS Files app is something that allows Dropbox to save files to the iOS device, at least temporarily, to use in other apps.

More information about this can be found here.

Let me know if this helps!
