IOS app - Save to Device option is missing

Hi All!   I notice that on my iPhone in the Dropbox App, the option to "Save to Device" is missing when viewing Photos. Has it been removed or moved elsewhere?   It used to appear in the menu...

Hi there, windshear, and happy Friday!

 

From what I can see on my end (latest iOS and Dropbox version), you should be able to save a photo to your device, by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to the "Files" tab
  2. Locate your photo and tap "..." on the right side of the photo's name
  3. Tap "Save image"

Otherwise, if you have the photo open, you'll need to follow these steps:

 

  1. Tap "..." at the top right of the screen
  2. Tap "share"
  3. Tap "export a copy"
  4. Tap "export"
  5. and then "save image"

 

I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let me know!
