    Sorry for the delay here, Airy.

     

    Can I ask for one more thing? Can you send me a screenshot of the last screen you're in, before the error message comes up?

     

    Because I'm trying to recreate this with my device and it works fine for me, so I want to see if we're missing something.

     

    Thanks!

Hey Airycleere , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Can you tell where this error is coming from? Dropbox or your email app?

 

If you can send us a screenshot, it would be really helpful.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Hannah, think it’s coming from Dropbox. Can I send screenshots on this forum? Don’t see the function.

    Yes, absolutely! When you click on the "reply" button, you should see a little camera icon right above the reply box, to attach your screenshot.

     

    Thanks!

        Thanks for the screenshot, Airy!

         

        I'm not entirely sure it's coming from Dropbox, though, so would you mind guiding me through the steps you're following up until you encounter this error?
