How to email attachments to my Dropbox account?

I'm trying to automatically send attachments from my Gmail account to my Dropbox account. I had the email address and verified it, there's a folder for email attachments in my Dropbox folder and I forwarded an email to the Dropbox email but I can't find it or the attachment anywhere. Someone told me I need a third-party app, but I doubt that and think I may have missed something simple. Appreciate some help please (I'm, using a mac if that helps).

    Hi Jay

     

    Worked it out now (I think) if I send it from Gmail on my apple email client it doesn't work, but if I send it from the webmail it does.

     

    Thanks

    Hi beegee49, thanks for posting on the Community!

    Are you referring to this app to email files to your Dropbox account?

    Are you getting any error messages or other information?

    This will help me to assist further!

      Thanks, yes that's the app, I've activated but I'm not seeing the Dropbox symbol in the bottom corner.
