I Can not link my Yahoo mail to dropbox . Yahoo have removed the upside down v (next to the Attachment icon) that gave the option to Share from Dropbox . Does Dropbox now not support Yahoo mail or am I doing something wrong.
Thank you for any help.
Although Walter's right that this is really a question for Yahoo!, not Dropbox, how frustrating that they won't acknowledge that this is obviously a problem tons of people are experiencing. I found a workaround, however. If you click on Settings in the Yahoo! Mail interface and then "Switch to classic Mail" (at the bottom), the old UI still has the drop-down arrow next to the paperclip attachment button that allows you to select "Share files from cloud providers", and then Dropbox.
Not a good permanent solution, since Yahoo! shows a warning that the classic interface will be going away at some point, but for now it works. I wonder if they've intentionally removed the cloud attachments feature from the new UI, or if it's just not appearing currently (at least for U.S. users??) due to a bug.
Hey there @GARYR1 - sorry to hear about this.
Can you try doing this on another browser, an incognito window and/or after having cleared your browser's cache?
Do you notice the same behavior? If you do, could you provide a screenshot of the problem so I can get a better understanding of the matter at hand and provide you with the most appropriate information?
I have tried with different browser Google chrome and cleared my browser cache. If you look at this youtibe video and the comments people are saying the upsode down link has been removed.
Thanks for the screenshot and the additional information Gary - much appreciated!
Could you please try to unlink your Dropbox account from your Yahoo mail and re-link it as per the instructions from the page below and let me know if you're still not getting an option to attach your Dropbox files through your Yahoo mail directly?

If possible, please try this on a incognito window without any extensions running (to exclude the possibility of a browser extension or plugin causing this.
To unlink your Dropbox account from Yahoo Mail:
From that point you'll need to connect your Yahoo! Mail to your Dropbox account anew.
To link your Dropbox to Yahoo Mail:
Note: Yahoo doesn't get access to any of the data in your Dropbox unless you specifically pick files to attach to your email.
Let me know how this goes @GARYR1!
I have followed your instruction , sadly no upside down v to give the option for Dropbox.
Can you please look at the Youtube video link I posted on my last reply and please look at the replies from the general public about the Youtube video saying the upside down v linking Dropbox to Yahoo mail is no longer there.
Are you based in the UK ?
Sorry to hear this persists for you Gary - may I reach out to your Dropbox associated email address so we can have a better look into this with all of my tools available as I might need to bring this to an expert's attention?
If you'd like to do it from your end, just log a ticket with our team and let me know the ticket ID so I can locate it on our system and get on it.
I guess you're seeing the Yahoo! Mail as connected under your connected apps tab on your account settings at the moment; right @GARYR1?
I give up . The Youtube video link I sent you with the replies on that video explains the upside down v is no longer shown when you compose a email with Yahoo.
Please look at that video.
Dropbox has a massive problem now with Yahoo linking accounts.
I have shown you through screen shots , links to Youtube videos , I asked where you are based ( With no reply )
I will delete my account with Dropbox .
I'm not allowed to disclose any personal information Gary (and to be honest I don't see how my location would affect anything for that matter).
Sorry to hear you feel this way - I wish I could help more than this but, as mentioned, I'd need to have access to all of my tools to look into this and to do that we'd need to go through the email route - in this way I'll be able to send your request to the appropriate department (if needed after all.)
I understand that this is not optimal for you but I haven't seen any similar reports lately from our users in regards to connecting their Yahoo! Mail accounts with Dropbox or attaching files directly from their emails.
Have you by tried, by any chance, asking Yahoo directly why you don't see the additional option when attaching files from within your email directly?

Because it's not their problem to acknowledge. They can't do anything to resolve it as the problem is with Yahoo.
If you click on Settings in the Yahoo! Mail interface and then "Switch to classic Mail" (at the bottom), the old UI still has the drop-down arrow next to the paperclip attachment button that allows you to select "Share files from cloud providers", and then Dropbox.
And that just solidifies that this is something that Yahoo has to resolve. Obviously they have removed the feature from the new interface (or simply haven't included it yet) as there's no way to select files from ANY cloud service. The service, as originally designed, still works without a problem, so not a Dropbox issue.

In part you're just repeating what I said, but my point is that the refusal to look at the other reports of the problem the OP pointed to, along with "I haven't seen any similar reports lately from our users" smacks of willful blindness to the problem. Whether it's theirs to fix or not is a different issue, which I already addressed.

No, that's not "obvious" at all. The "new" interface was introduced in 2017, and used to have the option to include cloud attachments. And yes, it's already been established several times that the OP should be asking Yahoo! about this, not Dropbox, but as Dropbox benefits from their partnership with Yahoo! to allow larger attachments, it stands to reason that they may want to know that Yahoo! has seemingly eliminated it, at least for some large portion of users.
Dropbox was working fine with Yahoo until AT&T took over my email which was sbcglobal.net. I went through a headache with AT&T to even get to my email and now that is fixed but I cannot sync my dropbox to my email to send picture attachments. How can I do that?
What seems to be the issue exactly @vickyelynn? Could you share a screenshot of what's not working for you and the steps you take to do it so that I can get a better understanding of the matter at hand?
While we're at it, are you using the desktop app, our mobile application or just the website to access your Dropbox account and files?
I've watched several videos and tried all of the suggestions here, and I still can't find any way to link my Yahoo Mail account with my Dropbox account.
When I try to send an attachment, it lets me choose Dropbox but when I click on the file that I want to send it says that it exceeds the 25MB attachment limit.
Going on almost an hour, and I still can't find a way to send this file.

Sorry to hear that Jeremy (@Henny1) - have you tried downloading the file locally to your device and then attach it to your email(s) from there?
neither classic or new gives me a way to limk to my dropbox
The file is almost double the 25MB limit
i followed the directions and deleted yahooWhen i went to reconnect- there is no yahoo to connect?What do I do?
Unfortunately, you're no longer able to link your Dropbox account with Yahoo Mail @browntbdd.

I hope this clears things up and welcome to our Community. Let me know if you come up with any additional questions.
yahoo can no longer link with dropbox I still don't know why but it makes me very sad ...: - /https://help.dropbox.com/us-us/installs-integrations/desktop/yahoo-mail
I am on classic
- Dropbox is not allowed to interact
Yahoo! are notoriously bad at addressing issues or replying to queries. The Googlesphere is far easier to use.
