Dropbox no longer a recent option on Android for uploads.

Anyone else experiencing Dropbox no longer being an option on their android phone. When in Instagram, for example, when I click to see options to upload, Dropbox is no longer a choice. Forcing me to download from Dropbox and save to my phone, then upload. A huge extra step and use of space.

    Hi there SM119, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you let us know your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?

     

    Is this happening with all 3rd party apps you're using or only Instagram? 

     

    Any additional  information is more than welcome!

        Of course you can SM119 

         

        To do so, you can use the camera icon (insert photo option) within your reply's box.


        If you're on a mobile device and not seeing it, you might need to request the desktop view of the website.
