Download iMac photo albums to iPhone

Downloading photos from Dropbox to iPhone Photos app was asked in 2017. What is the up-to-date answer to this question?

That's correct, the mobile app is mainly used for previewing files on the app, or for exporting a few files into other apps.

Hi rarthurr, thanks for messaging the Community!

You can export files from your Dropbox account to another app on your device by following these steps.

Currently, it isn't possible to export multiple files at the same time.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

  You mean if I have 1000 photos on my iMac to download to my iPhone from my Dropbox Photo collection, I would have to do it one at a time?
