    Hi SkarPadyn, you can take a screenshot and then attach it to your next reply.

Welcome aboard the Community, SkarPadyn!

 

Do you mind uploading a screenshot of the options you currently see on the Dropbox app? 

 

It would help me to have a visual to see what’s going on. 

 

Let me know when you’re ready.

        I do not see an option to attach a file to this message (I'm on mobile).

        But, yes, I found that option and with additional navigation, and waiting for that file to show up in the menu, i managed to get there. Thanks!
