- 7 years agoAs mentioned above, the solution is to look at the settings related to your mail app or your device's operating system.

If you're unable to find the correct setting within your device, you'll need to reach out to Lenovo.

Hey Josh2,
Welcome to the Dropbox Community!
Earlier today I came across another issue with the specific mail app and Dropbox , you can read here.

We're here for any other questions you may have.
Thanks!

Next time you open a PDF it will ask you which app you want to use to open it.
