Cant downlaod an attachment from a gmail. Read all help and directions available, even cleared my download history and cache. The error statement just says "something went wrong." I am able to add a dropbox file to and email and was able to send it, so I know it is connected.

When downloading a file with slashes in its name gmail changes slashes to underscores. When saving the same file to Dropbox with this plugin it treated the filename as a path and created a subfolder for each section of the filename separated by slashes and saved the file with the name of the last such section !? No "recent locations" shown.

There is no way to save multiple files in one go, and you can't create folders to save the files in. Overall, a big downgrade from having the dropbox save icon on the attachments.

It's hard to imagine this addon being harder to use. The download feature is slow and if you're adding to a directory with a large number of files, they are divided into unsearchable pages. To the devs: Really? This is the best you can do with this?

Completely useless. Incredible how something like this could get past an entire highly-paid dev and coding teams; past management/engineering, and then to final product rollout. Can't attach more than 1 file at a time, no search function, useless side icon, as well as completely sluggish performance. I will keep using Gmails auto-attachment link interface until something better arrives. Hate having to use multiple cloud based services but I guess thats just where we are in the year 2022/2023. Massive disappointment.
