I'm really tired of having multiple cloud accounts for different types of media. Getting files between the different versions requires me stopping at a desktop to move to the desktop and then back up. At least this gets rid of one of those steps. Now I just wish there were a way to take xlsx's from dropbox on the iphone and send it to my work email without it coming as a shared link. I work in a locked down, regulated environment that can't open dropbox links. (finance)

I am genuinely curious if you are unable to open any link or is the restriction specific to Dropbox? And what is the reason for this restriction?

specific to dropbox type of sites, including external email sites that company data could be dumped out of a secure environment.
