- 4 years agoHi foolio, it looks like you're following the the steps to 'share' a file by using Dropbox, instead of saving it to Dropbox, hence why it's asking you for an email address to share it to.
Could you try scrolling down the original options to find one that says save or add to Dropbox? You might need to expand the options or edit them to view all choices.

Hey foolio, thanks so much for posting today and happy Friday!
Would you mind confirming if the 'add' button or the entire screen is grayed out when you get to that point?
Can you share a screenshot with me, so I can check this out?
Also, try opening the Dropbox app and use the + icon to upload the photo, to see if that works.
Cheers!

That insight led me to check the app options that come up (clicking on the 3 dots to see more). I removed then ‘added’ Dropbox as an app (again) and that has fixed it.
