Dropbox StaffHi Jay,
yes, I have the Dropbox app installed. In the email, when I want to add a file stored in Dropbox as an attachment, the Dropbox opens and shows all the folders and files. However, when I choose a file by touching it, it doesn’t get attached in the email. The iOS version being used by me is 12.0.1.
Thanks for your time.

is there a fix for this??
Yes, the Dropbox and the folders along with files appear. But when I touch the file it doesn’t get loaded in the email. The iOS version used by me is 12.0.1.
OS version which I am using is 12.0.1.
Where in this response is the solution? It's just questions but this submission is linked as the solution. I'm having the exact same issue. Can't upload dropbox files to send in an email from my iphone, all it does is create a dropbox link when in reality I want the file sent over not a link.
