Aha - thanks, Lucil. Because 'Share' had always been an different option to 'Export', I didn't think of checking it out, and I never would think of copying to iBooks as "sharing" (with myself).
If Dropbox wants to 'drop' an option like Export without specifically telling users, and if that issue can be got around another (slightly less intuitive) way, then I guess that its call. I'm happy I can do what I want with the file ('send'/share to iBooks).
Thanks again

In this case, could you tap on the option to "Share" and try exporting or saving it locally that way?

Um nope. Not fixed at all. On my iPhone 12 running ios 14.6, I use the Export fx in Dropbox to export my MP3s of audiobooks to VLC to listen to them through a Bluetooth speaker. Running Dropbox 240.2.4, running VLC version 3.2.13. Cache cleared. There A) when you click the 3 dots is NO export and WORSE B) when you click SHARE there is NO export, only "copy link" and "invite to folder." To say I'm angry is an understatement. This is ludicrous.
