Save to Dropbox not possible in iOS Shortcuts
When using the file save dialog in iOS Shortcuts (formerly ,Workflows') the Dropbox target option is greyed out. Any idea how to fix that? It did work for me some time ago, but stopped for seemingly no reason. Additional info:
- Dropbox iOS app is installed and user logged in.
- Dropbox is enabled as a file location in iOS Files app.
- Manually saving items via the file save dialog is working just fine.
- Data connection is available (WiFi and LTE).
- Reinstalling Dropbox does not help.
- Specs: iOS 15.1 on iPhone 11 Pro
The problem is similar to that one: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-installs-integrations/Unable-to-Save-to-Files-on-iOS/td-p/265404
but only occurs when using the file dialog from within a workflow/shortcut.

Sorry for the delay on this, but I've just reached out to you, so make sure to check your emails! - Hello,
i have the same problem. Is there any solution? - monomond The suggestion was to use the ,Save to Dropbox’ action instead of the general ,Save’ action. This works, but does not solve the issue. With ,Save to Dropbox’ I have to decide where to save it before running the action, whereas ,Save’ gives all possibilities.
Hannah Is this a bug or does Dropbox not fully support the iOS save dialog?
