Email to Dropbox not working, no files uploading.
I've been using the email to dropbox function pretty consistently for a few months now. Just today I noticed it doesn't seem to be working. I have an application setup to email invoices to my dropbox...

Hi Everybody,
This issue should have been resolved for all users. Please let us know if it is still affecting you.
Email to Dropbox only works when files are attached, rather than included inline in the email itself. When using this feature, please make sure to add files as an attachment.
IA Accounting can you try emailing your your file(s) as attachments and let us know if this is working for you?
Thanks,
Ben

Just to add that this seems to have resolved itself overnight. The files have arrived in my Dropbox overnight

My files arrived overnight too.
I did a test this morning and it took 1 hour + for the file to reach Email Attachments.
However, on a further test just now it arrived instantly, so seems resolved for the minute.
Never had Email to Dropbox glitch out on me like this before. Would be a shame if it were to become a frequent occurrence, as it is a useful tool, but it needs to be reliable: All the time.

Seems like it may be working again. ocHoco I completely agree with the need for reliability. I use this function dozens of times a day and up until yesterday it worked flawlessly.
