This is a great question and a helpful response.
Since I do not normally use the Files app, I had not checked it. Sure enough, when I did, I saw that Dropbox was not enabled on Files. When I enabled it there, it appeared back in the Mail app.
i don’t know why it went away, but this solved my problem.
Thanks.

- JayGlad you were able to resolve it so quickly, and for getting back to me on this!
Have a great week ahead! - Sorry I am having the same problem but I am not sure what Files App you are referring to and would be so grateful if you would kindly explain thanks so much. Mia
- I’ve lost access to Dropbox files, too, on emails from my iPhone and iPad. How do you enable Dropbox on the Files app? Only choice is iCloud.
Cannot find App Files in Settings on my phone - it’s missing too.
All files are up to date
Please help; I need to send a customer a file- Walter
Hi CShel; thanks for joining our discussion here and welcome aboard!
Based on your description, it looks like Dropbox has not been set as a location in the Files app on your devices.
Can you please open the Files app on your device and press ‘edit’? Under locations you should see all available locations with Dropbox toggle off. Please switch this on and press 'done'.
After this is done then, please try again. You should see the functionality has been restored.
Keep us posted!
