Has there been any resolution here?
I've been having this issue for months. Thought it was an issue with my phone but I bought a brand new phone and am still having this issue.
Really disappointed in this being an issue with Dropbox.
Integration with Gmail is kind of the whole point of Dropbox.

Hi Yannalfo, thanks for posting here, how are you today?
Due to recent OS changes and changes with the Gmail app, the option to `Attach From Dropbox` is no longer available.
I'd encourage you to start the email from Dropbox app following these steps:
In the Dropbox app go to the overflow menu (3 dots)
Select: Send Copy of File
Select: Gmail
Compose email and click send
Keep in mind that our team is aware of how this problem is affecting your work, however I don’t have a specific timeline right now, but I’ll let you know as soon as I have an update.Thanks!
- Yannalfo10 months agoExplorer | Level 3Yikes. I send attachments most commonly on reply emails, sending from the Dropbox app isn't a viable solution.
At least I now know I can stop trying to fix this issue.
Unfortunately, I'll have to find an alternative solution to Dropbox. It was a good run lol- Dannyjester9 months agoNew member | Level 2I have the exact same issue and as mentioned above replying to an email is when I use the attach file from Dropbox so the solution you are offering is not really a solution. Please fix this asap as I, along with thousands of others, will have to move to a different cloud storage option. Thanks.
