Ability to attach Dropbox files to email in Mail app on Ipad has disappeared

[EMay]

Hi Jay, 

The issue began when I was using a stable version, so I upgraded my iOS and Dropbox.  The problem continued.  Occasionally it will work, but mostly won't.

I've noticed the same thing, where the files that will attach have the download symbol.  But, this is also inconsistent.  Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't.

If the Files app isn’t updating with the latest version of the file as it appears in the Dropbox mobile app, then this would be related to the Files app itself.

There isn’t much we can troubleshoot here since the integration is handled through that app. 

You can try deleting the Dropbox mobile app, rebooting the device, and reinstalling the app to see if this helps however.

I am now having the same problem as above but this is update to 13.1.3.

I am always signed in, I have always been able to attached files but now it just "waits" and waits and does not attach the file.

Can you please email me with a solution?

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with this @Kw7790.

Could you forward me a screenshot of how this looks like on your end so I can have a visual?

In addition, have you rebooted your device lately?

If possible, can you please open the Files app on your device and press ‘edit’? Under locations you should see all available locations along with Dropbox. Please switch this off and on again and press 'done'.

After this is done then, please try again. 

Let me know the results please.

Hello! I would love your help. I am running iOS 13.1.3 on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch and having the following problems:

- when using the iOS mail app, trying to attach files, dropbox is not listed in the files app. I have reinstalled dropbox, and unticked / re-ticked dropbox in the files app.

- when using the outlook mail app, trying to attach files, dropbox is listed, but when I choose a file to attach, it just thinks about it interminably and the app needs to be restarted, at which point the attachment has been lost from the draft email.

I will have to discontinue using Dropbox if this cannot be resolved as I am currently unable to use it to attach files to emails on either iOS or outlook mail apps. 

Thanks,

HD

Sorry to hear about this @HD3.

As you've done some troubleshooting so far, would it be OK with you if I reached out via your Dropbox associated email address to have a further look into this?

Thanks in advance for your reply and welcome to our Community!

I’ve lost access to Dropbox files, too, on emails from my iPhone and iPad. How do you enable Dropbox on the Files app? Only choice is iCloud.
Cannot find App Files in Settings on my phone - it’s missing too.
All files are up to date
Please help; I need to send a customer a file
