Thanks, yes that's the app, I've activated but I'm not seeing the Dropbox symbol in the bottom corner.

When I follow your link to the app, it says "not allowed by your team, go to the admin console". I am the admin and when I go to admin console, cannot find the "email to dropbox" app (or anything similar) on the app list. Please point me in the right direction!

Not sure if I fully understand what you want but, If you go to your personal account settings and scroll down there's a setting under preferences "Email to my Dropbox" select "turn on" and you'll be given an email address quite long and odd-looking add that to your Gmail contacts and when you receive an email with an attachment forward it to that email address and the attachment should appear in an email attachments folder that will automatically be set up in your files. You'll find that this works from the web email but in my case, not the Apple email client. Hope this helps in some way.
