Can't link to or save to Dropbox using Chrome on IOS (iPhone or iPad)

I can't save anything to Dropbox from Chrome on my iPad or iPhone. Not sure if this is an issue with Chrome or Dropbox, but it's like Dropbox isn't supported or won't link to chrome. Any suggestions ...

    Seems to be working fine for me. I download a file in Chrome, select OPEN IN..., then Copy to Dropbox. Dropbox then prompts me to choose a folder and once I select Save the file is uploaded.

    Are these the steps you're taking? If so, are both Chrome and Dropbox up-to-date?

Briefly tap the PDF and a bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, at the right end of that bar will be the open in... option. Tap that and you will get a menu that allows you to save to Dropbox.

 

I had the same problem for a while - the littl export button in the top bar doesn't have Dropbox.

Doesn't work for Word or Excel files - any other suggestions?
