I Can not link my Yahoo mail to Dropbox
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 a...
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.
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 .

Because it's not their problem to acknowledge. They can't do anything to resolve it as the problem is with Yahoo.

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.
yahoo can no longer link with dropbox I still don't know why but it makes me very sad ...: - /

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.

neither classic or new gives me a way to limk to my dropbox
The file is almost double the 25MB limit
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.
