    Thanks for posting here, DAVEN L.!

     

    If I get this right, you’ve been uploading Gmail attachments to Dropbox on your phone, but it no longer works, correct?

     

    Can you describe to me the exact steps you’ve been taking so far?

     

    What’s happening exactly at the moment? 

     

    Keep me updated.

    Thanks for that! Can you also attach a screenshot of the message you see on your end?

     

    Also, is this happening with many files, or a specific one you're trying to attach?

    When typing your reply on the forum, there should be a small camera icon above your message box. If you click there, you can attach your screenshot in the same thread.

    Hey DAVEN L., sorry to jump in here.

     

    If you're on your phone and you'd like to send us a screenshot, you'd need to request the desktop version of the Community, to see the upload button.

     

    Also, are you on an iOS or Android device and on the latest version of both your OS and your Dropbox app?
