Email to DropBox Apple Mail Support
I'm having a problem with a friend sending email attachments to DropBox when they use Apple Mail. The email attachments do not show up in my Email Attachments folder on my Windows DropBox app folder....

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi chccmessage, as you are using MacMail, you may experience some issues with the attachments not uploading. The issue with MacMail application, as many others express in the Apple forums, is that adding images to an email will actually embedded the image instead of attaching. So even if you see the paper clip icon to show there is an attachment, Apple's technology will show the images direct as inline files.
In order for this feature to work, you would need to use another mail service or add the image to a .pdf file to attach. PDF files in MacMail are set as an actual attachment and will be uploaded as expected.
Thanks for your answer.
Indeed, the way Apple Mail sends the attachment is always “in body” as Mime object.
That could be cool that Dropbox implement that support.
I finally ended up creating an AppleScript that saves the attachment directly on the Email Attachment folder, synced on the same machine. That does the job.
Happy to share if requested.
