Dropbox StaffHi Yannalfo, thanks for posting here, how are you today?
Due to recent OS changes and changes with the Gmail app, the option to `Attach From Dropbox` is no longer available.

In the Dropbox app go to the overflow menu (3 dots)
Select: Send Copy of File
Select: Gmail
Compose email and click send
Keep in mind that our team is aware of how this problem is affecting your work, however I don’t have a specific timeline right now, but I’ll let you know as soon as I have an update.
Thanks!
Yikes. I send attachments most commonly on reply emails, sending from the Dropbox app isn't a viable solution.
At least I now know I can stop trying to fix this issue.
Unfortunately, I'll have to find an alternative solution to Dropbox. It was a good run lol

- I have the exact same issue and as mentioned above replying to an email is when I use the attach file from Dropbox so the solution you are offering is not really a solution. Please fix this asap as I, along with thousands of others, will have to move to a different cloud storage option. Thanks.
Danny, I switched to Microsoft OneDrive and have no complaints.
