Can't link to or save to Dropbox using Chrome on IOS (iPhone or iPad)

I can't save anything to Dropbox from Chrome on my iPad or iPhone. Not sure if this is an issue with Chrome or Dropbox, but it's like Dropbox isn't supported or won't link to chrome. Any suggestions ...

    Seems to be working fine for me. I download a file in Chrome, select OPEN IN..., then Copy to Dropbox. Dropbox then prompts me to choose a folder and once I select Save the file is uploaded.

    Are these the steps you're taking? If so, are both Chrome and Dropbox up-to-date?

    the hell would anyone want to save files to their device if they want it send to dropbox instead? makes no sense. basically, u need to download the image or whatever to your device first, then share to dropbox and delete drom your device? what is wrong with devs these days..

    no idea who's fault is it, chrome, apple or dropbox.. but it's frustrating as hell.
