Dropbox Community ModeratorRe: Email to Dropbox failed
If you are sending images, and they appear in the body of the email, which Apple Mail on Mac and iOS devices do by default, then it isn't recorded as an attachment so it won't upload to the Dropbox site.
When you send the email via Gmail itself, both those files would be attachments, and would upload normally.
Does the same issue occur with the attached PDF file in the email? What about if you send the PDF in its own email without the image in the body of the email?

Jayyes same issue occur with the attached PDF file in the email. Can you tell me how do i do this > send the PDF in its own email without the image in the body of the email?Because PDF never give image in the body of my email

If you're able to send an email with the PDF attachment from Gmail directly, and it appears on your account, then it's working normally.
If it isn't working when using another mail program, then you'd need to check its settings to ensure files are not embedded in the email body itself. Since you mentioned you were using iOS, then this Apple article might help in that regard.
Hi Jay thanks for your reply,
If you're able to send an email with the PDF attachment from Gmail directly, and it appears on your account, then it's working normally. > YES, when I send online from the gmail it works fine
