There’s no option to attach a Dropbox file on iPhone X
I recently got the iPhone X and cannot attach dropbox files in the Gmail app. Please help 😞
- 7 years agoWhat steps are you taking? If you're starting within the Gmail app and it's not letting you, then you need to contact Google as they would be the ones to support that function.
From the Dropbox app, you can export the file and chose the Open In option and select the Gmail app. It should open the app and start a new message with the file attached.

An excellent and knowledgable answer. I mean, it's basically a labyrith to get to the end of this settings-chain, and while instructions by matt228 are clear and sufficient, I would never have found this on my own. Meanwhile, note that this will not resolve access to Dropbox in the iOS Gmail app on the iphone (at least not for me). My impression is that Google has restricted the Gmail app to only allow access to files in the camera app and their own Drive app, trying to force users away from using Dropbox. A strategy that doesn't work with me. I switched to using a different client on iPhone instead.

I’m also unable to attach files from Dropbox in Gmail. It says online that it’s possible, but I can’t figure out how to. I’ve installed "Dropbox for Gmail", but it does not work for me. I’m a ble to save an attachment from Gmail to Dropbox, but not the other way around. Why?
