I always get emails with attached documents and I click on the Dropbox, open box icon, and hit save to proper files. They do not SAVE and give message "Job reached maximum retry attempts."

I am having the very same issue, beginning just a couple of days ago after using the plugin for over a year. Tried the clearing the cache and cookies, updated my version of Chrome, uninstalled and reinstalled the Dropbox for Gmail app...still not working. Has this issue been resolved? Please share. Thanks!

I've tried deleting and reinstalling Chrome with all cache and cookies deleted. The problem became so annoying that I switched to using Mydrive rather than dropbox. Too busy to spend hours solving this obviously growing problem.

Has there been any resolution to this issue.  I continue to have no ability to open Gmail, select an attachment, select SAVE TO DROPBOX.  I receive the message "saving to Dropbox" then "Maximum retry attempts" message.  Nothing was saved.

I have tried clean the cookie and cache. Unistall and re-install the extension in Chrome.   All in vain.

 

It would worked (saving to dropbox from Chrome-Gmail), sometimes,  when I restart the computer. But more oftern than not, it doesnt work.

Hello, @Cleanliving...

 

Are you referring to trying to Login to your Dropbox account unsuccessfully?  If so, you can click here to reset your password.

 

If above isn't of any help to you, then we need more specifics so we can better assist you.

Frank, has there been any resolution to this issue?  It continues to persist ever after cache cleaning and plug disabling.  Would love a resolution date for this extremely useful feature that is now gone 😞

Need more support?
