Can't attach files to emails in iOS
Hi,
I cannot seem to attach a file from my Dropbox into my email using gmail.
When I click on the attachment icon it does not give me the the file source of Dropbox, Just my ipad and Cloud are my choices.
I am using an iPad and do a lot of emailing from it.

Make sure you have the Dropbox app installed on the iOS device and that your account is registered through the mobile dropbox app. If you already have done that make sure the app isn't being blocked from any permissions in the settings.
Yes, the Dropbox and the folders along with files appear. But when I touch the file it doesn’t get loaded in the email. The iOS version used by me is 12.0.1.
OS version which I am using is 12.0.1.
Hi Jay,
yes, I have the Dropbox app installed. In the email, when I want to add a file stored in Dropbox as an attachment, the Dropbox opens and shows all the folders and files. However, when I choose a file by touching it, it doesn’t get attached in the email. The iOS version being used by me is 12.0.1.
Thanks for your time.

i just got a new iphone and backed everthig up. Same problem as you guys..
when i open tab from ios email on my phone No files are shown... but when i open the DropBox App everything is There..
is there a fix for this??
I have the new iPad Pro and experienced the same problem mentioned above. I solved as follows:
In mail, create new message, click attachment, in the “Browse Locations” window that pops up to the left, in the top right corner, click edit. Dropbox shows as an option to select in the Browse Location folder. It was turned off. When I selected “on”, my Dropbox folders loaded and became available to attach to my email.
