- 5 months agoBugger. You’re right - yes attachments upload fine. Thanks. That was not my understanding. Not so clear in the online help advice.

Could you try another browser and let me know if you get the same results @DMacMelbourne?

Hi. Tried using Google and Safari, have dumped my history (past 24hr). No change/ no upload to Dropbox.

Hi @DMacMelbourne, just to clarify, are you trying to send attachments to your Dropbox account, or your actual emails themselves?
- DMacMelbourne5 months agoHelpful | Level 6Hi Jay.
I’m trying to email to my @addtodropbox.com address. Dropbox says I’m set up but none of the emails land in my ‘Email Attachments’ folder. I’ve sent from my Mac and Gmail accounts and I’ve logged in on iPhone and PC. 🤷🏼:male_sign:- Rich5 months agoSuper User II

It doesn't save email messages; only attachments. If you send an email with an attachment, the attachment is saved to the folder. The message itself is not saved.
