Dropbox for Surface pro 9 and S mode doesn't work the way I need it to.
Hey all! I have a surface pro 9 with the Dropbox for s mode app. It is very frustrating when you need to send an email and you can not use the drop box to attach a file. It does not show up as an option like in windows 10. You have to open drop box app, download the file to the computer, then attach and send... am I missing something? Is there a better way? Ironically it is windows 10 on the surface but will not allow me to install drop box like normal. Please help.

Hi MDF construction, welcome to our Community!
It's true that the S Mode app has more in common to our mobile app, than our desktop app in the sense that there's not a Dropbox folder locally to the device that'll allow you to keep your content there.
If you wish for the files to sync to the device, you'd need to switch out of the S Mode, and then install our stable build. Want to give it a go?
Keep me posted!
