    Hey SafetyJohn, thanks for the update!

     

    It looks like this is something that's coming directly from your OS, in this case Samsung. 

     

    You can always create a link, and then send it via text message using your message app.

Hi Megan; By attachments, I mean accessing an image in Dropbox to send via text. Unfortunately, no S10 Screenshot is available as it was stolen 😒, however, attached is an S24 Screenshot, thinking similar to S10, with no Dropbox option. 😊Thank you!

    Hi Megan; Thanks! I discovered a good workaround. I click on 'Image' and then '3 dots' in the upper right, 'Browse' pops up, click on that, and 'Dropbox' attachments are available. Two extra steps, however, same result as my S10. All good! 😊Thank you for the responses
