I'm looking for mobiles to be able to send a file request via the mobile app.

I haven't managed to find a way to do this on iOS, so is it only possible to do it via the dropbox website?

Ehhh I don't know if it's *that* big of a deal. Just use the web client and request the desktop version of the web UI - then you can generate the requests. It's a bit of a clumsy workaround but it does the job. To me the current behavior seems more accidental than intentional. Anyway, having it work in the Dropbox app would be really convenient.

I don't see why this feature can't be implemented into the app. With every Dropbox app update, I check to see if this is a new feature and am disappointed every time

Yes ! Please, we need ASAP the feature to send files requests from our mobile devices. The idea was submited years ago. Please reconsider it!

I am literally shocked to see that this feature isnt available on mobile app. We have an enterprise level app and subscribed dropbox business for this feature. I will have to reconsider the subscription now. 😞

It is crazy that this feature isn’t available. Please add it to the mobile app. Definitely pushes me closer to switching to google drive.

Dropbox- not understanding why this is omitted from mobile? It is literally 50% of the value prop we subscribe to from an enterprise account at work. Should not run a voting game to consider it. People are  not always by laptop.

Come on, do this already. I'm almost literally never in Dropbox on my laptop.
