    Hi there, we’re assuming you’re referring to the iOS Mail app, not the Mac OSX app.
     
    Have you installed the Dropbox mobile app, and does the Dropbox folder appear on the Files app on your iPad?
     
    If not, could you confirm what version of iOS you’re running on the iPad, and what version of the Dropbox app is installed?
     
    Thanks in advance!

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.
