3 years agoWhen they are being forwarded are they coming direct from your email (i.e. in the From: name) and including the Dropbox email in the To: line?

Hi mikerain99, when the emails are forwarded, are the files in an attachment, or are they visible in the body of the email?

The files are in an attachment.

When emails are sent to [myaddress]@addtodropbox.com, the attachments are saved to folder Email Attachments.

Does anyone know why this happens?
