Re: Can't attach files to emails using the Gmail app

Dropbox attachment in gmail

Go to solution

When I try to add an attachment from dropbox to a mail in gmail, I receive a message in gmail "can not upload the file". This error occurs only on one smartphone with android 12. If I do the same , with the same dropbox and google account, on an other android phone (android 11 )or an android tablet, there is no problem. Both phones have the same app version of gmail

I'm not very techie so don't know the OS on my phone or the dropbox app version.  I have tried attaching files from my laptop and they will only allow me to attached a link, versus attaching the file.  I don't know if both of these changes happened at the same time or not but might get that is that case.

Hi Rita!
 
Thank you for the confirmation! Just to inform you that the issue appears to be exclusive to Android Devices, However, because the Outlook app is working, I suspect this might be a Google issue rather than Dropbox, however, I am more than happy to bring this to the attention of Android Developers and seek clarification on the issue if that is something you wish to proceed with?
