    My work around was pulling up the website on my phone. I've got it handled now. Thank you both for you assistance.

Hello,

 

I have the Dropbox app on my iPhone X, I also use Dropbox on my PC - within the last several days I no longer have the option to export nor save images to my camera roll on my phone, or save them in general to my phone. I saw a similar post was made but the OP did not reply to the Dropbox rep, so I'm asking the same question and providing additional info. 

 

My iPhone does not have a pending update, and my Dropbox app is also current. When I select the option to save to my camera roll I receive a response of "Couldn't communicate with a helper application." I'm also attaching the relevant screenshots:

 

 

Thank you for any help you can provide,

 

- Kenneth

    Hi there KENAXION, let's see what we can do here. 

    Are you able to save your images locally on your device by tapping on the "share" option? 

    Give it a try and let me know if the issue persists. Cheers!
