Email to Dropbox not working, no files uploading.
I've been using the email to dropbox function pretty consistently for a few months now. Just today I noticed it doesn't seem to be working. I have an application setup to email invoices to my dropbox...

Hi Everybody,
This issue should have been resolved for all users. Please let us know if it is still affecting you.
Email to Dropbox only works when files are attached, rather than included inline in the email itself. When using this feature, please make sure to add files as an attachment.
IA Accounting can you try emailing your your file(s) as attachments and let us know if this is working for you?
Thanks,
Ben

Having this as well, as of today. Was working for me as recently as two days ago (Sat, Feb 17th), but nothing I've sent today is reaching the Email Attachments folder.
Took the step of getting a new "Email to Dropbox" email address ('Get new address' under Features / Email to Dropbox in Dropbox settings), but still doesn't work. The sent emails all show as always as successfully sent items, but their attachments just aren't reaching the "Email Attachments" folder.

Just to add that this seems to have resolved itself overnight. The files have arrived in my Dropbox overnight

My files arrived overnight too.
I did a test this morning and it took 1 hour + for the file to reach Email Attachments.
However, on a further test just now it arrived instantly, so seems resolved for the minute.
Never had Email to Dropbox glitch out on me like this before. Would be a shame if it were to become a frequent occurrence, as it is a useful tool, but it needs to be reliable: All the time.

Hi IA Accounting,
Thanks for letting us know this is still affecting you. The root cause for the widespread problem with Email to Dropbox was resolved, but it looks like some users may still be experiencing problems and we're currently looking into it. Our engineering team is aware.
As Rich said above, make sure you're sending directly to the email you've set up for Email to Dropbox.
Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime, and I'll update here when I know more!
Regards,
Ben

This happened on the day I introduced this functionality to our users. Waiting for two days would have resolved the problem. Instead I created a new email and folder. It's working again. I did still have problems, when others already reported that the problem was gone for them. Thanks for the follow up.
