    I am using the square with the arrow, also in the top right corner. This provides the option of Save to Dropbox. 

    However, as suggested, I cleared the cache. This has now allowed me to save from the bottom right. When I  tap screen option Open In...appears, and  I now have the option to Save to Dropbox from here.

    Thanks for the additional information RBiOS - much appreciated.

    Could you do me a favor and try this on another browser and let me know if you get the same results?

    If not, this would mean that the problem you're experiencing comes from Chrome itself, not Dropbox, and in that case the best way to tackle this would be to reach out to Google (or Chrome's developers) directly. 

    Keep me posted on your findings please and happy November!
