See https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Filenames-become-lowercase-when-attaching-from-DropBox-to-Mail/td-p/349737. Filenames should not become all lowercase when attaching a file to Mail from DropBox via the Files interface on iOS. Other sources, such as Google Drive and FileExplorer, do not have this issue.

@gcandiota Would be the perfect workaround if not for the fact that only the Gmail app, not desktop/mobile sites, allow login from non-Gmail accounts via IMAP. Also, to all of those suggesting to send files directly via Files or another app, doesn't work if you want to send the attachments in a reply to an email. Seems like Google's fault this time for only supporting Drive in their app.

As was also mentioned earlier and in the ticket, it doesn't happen with other sources via Files (Google Drive, FileExplorer, etc). It only happens with DropBox. So DropBox should follow suit with the other sources and fix this lingering issue.

Hi Lusil, on behalf of the other user I'll repost the steps here as these still duplicate the issue in the latest versions of everything: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Filenames-become-lowercase-when-attaching-from-DropBox-to-Mail/m-p/349756/highlight/true#M53056 Exporting would work only as a workaround; it doesn't resolve the actual issue of capitalization becoming all lowercase if attaching directly from dropbox via the files interface in the default mail app.

Hi Walter, I know how to force my public folder to open in the browser for myself, but I want to rewrite the URL (or implement another fix) to force it to open in the browser without requiring a workaround such as requesting the desktop site etc, so anyone tapping the link normally will just be directed to the public folder on the browser instead of the dropbox app if they have that installed. I want them to be directed to the folder, not any specific file in the folder. Tried both dl=0 and dl=1; neither resolve this. Same issue on Chrome iOS as on Safari iOS.

This is regarding a link on my site to my public dropbox folder. Is there a way to format the URL to open in the browser that the URL was opened from, rather than the DropBox app? For example, currently if a user taps on a link to a public DropBox folder within Safari iOS and the user already has DropBox installed on their phone, the DropBox app will open and direct them to the folder, instead of Safari doing this. Long-tapping on the link in Safari and tapping Open in Background is an insufficient workaround as I want the link to open in the browser by default.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll wait for a response from the specialist forwarded to. Appreciated.

Thing is Google Drive has its own, different bugs and issues. Lost count of the number of reports I’ve made to Google regarding Drive and their other apps.
