Official Dropbox for Outlook Add-In
Two major issues I'm encountering with this add-in:
1. I get a "Failed to share file attachments." error when attempting to use the "Share files" button to select a file to attach when composing a new email. I can attach from my personal Dropbox just fine, but when browsing to the Dropbox for Teams folder and attempting to attach a file in it, I get that error.
2. I have to sign in to Dropbox every time I want to utilize this add-in. Shouldn't it retain my login session info?
Any ideas on either issue are appriciated!

Hi Megan,
Thanks for the reply. Please see screenshot of error here: https://ibb.co/yyvGPY7
File size varies anywhere from 125KB to 125MB. It doesn't seem to care what size the files I attempt to send are.
What's notable is that it can send files from the personal side of the dropbox with the outlook add-in, but only throws this error if I try to attach files within a Dropbox for Business Teams Folder.

Hi pinionking, let's look into this!
As a first thing, what is your Dropbox plan? Are you part of a Business team?
If so, have you checked with your Team admin about this?
Let me know.

I am working on a project that receives multiple regular daily emails with attachments (MS Outlook). I want specific attachments that are received by our Doc Control to automatically save to project dropbox folders.
When i go to do this in Power Automate, i can only see my personal dropbox folders. I am an admin on our dropbox for business account, but the project folder is not visible. What is going on here? Having this automated would save hours across our projects.
