Hi vivavie, let's jump right into this! 

 

As a first step, can you let me know the steps you're following on your end? Do you get any errors? Do you use our Dropbox for Gmail add-on?

 

In the meantime, can you download the files you'd like to attach in your email from our website locally to the device, and attach them from there?

 

Keep me posted!

      Hey vivavie, thanks for your reply here.

       

      Are you using Gmail and the Gmail app or is it a different email service provider?

       

      Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the Dropbox app, or your email app to see if that helps?
