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

     

    Regarding the uploading, do you see an option that says 'Create or upload file'?

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!
