Hi,
I cannot seem to attach a file from my Dropbox into my email using gmail.
When I click on the attachment icon it does not give me the the file source of Dropbox, Just my ipad and Cloud are my choices.
I am using an iPad and do a lot of emailing from it.
I have the new iPad Pro and experienced the same problem mentioned above. I solved as follows:
In mail, create new message, click attachment, in the “Browse Locations” window that pops up to the left, in the top right corner, click edit. Dropbox shows as an option to select in the Browse Location folder. It was turned off. When I selected “on”, my Dropbox folders loaded and became available to attach to my email.
Where in this response is the solution? It's just questions but this submission is linked as the solution. I'm having the exact same issue. Can't upload dropbox files to send in an email from my iphone, all it does is create a dropbox link when in reality I want the file sent over not a link.

My issue is slightly different. I’m using an iPad prod and the nagive email client.
If I’ve ever attached a file from Dropbox it cant be re-used, i.e. attached to another email
