    You can't. If setting up auto-forward requires verification of the email address, you won't be able to forward to the Dropbox-generated email. You can only receive attachments at the email address. The text/body of an email sent to that address is not retained.

thanks for reply.

 

in fact I want attachments to be forwarded from Gmail, but the first step of verifycode is obstacle. if once I get verification code somehow, I can then auto forward all gmail attachments to addtodropbox folder.

 

but there is no way of getting the verification code of forwarded address. in case gmail can forward the verification code as attachment or body matter as  jpg file etc  then I would have been possible.... but no way as of now it seems

 

thanks again for reply
