iPad : How do I select all my files in Dropbox and export them in iCloud ?
Hello Dropbox users !, my Question : I have an iPad. What is the exact step to enable exporting all the Dropbox files, pdf, etc, to iCloud or to any other cloud storage app ? Is there a way...
- 7 years agoHi there, currently there isn’t a way to export all files at once, at least via the mobile app on an iOS device.
There might be a method using the iOS Files app, though we wouldn’t have any info on how to do this on our end.
On a desktop, you might be able to copy files from the Dropbox folder into iCloud via the method you normally send files there. Again though you’d have to refer to the documentation on how to do that.

Hello, I had the same issue, but on iphone SE 2020. I did not find any information on the internet, even though it has been more than 3 years since you requested solution.
Anyways what I've done is:
1. Open Safari.
2. Navigate to dropbox.com
3. DO NOT ENTER THE APP, continue with logging in to your profile on the website.
4. Go to the folder with you photos or to all files. Click on the checkbox above all files. Then click the three dots, download. This will download zip file to the FILES app on your IOS device.
5. When it's done, open the FILES app. Go to downloads or recents and click on the icon of the zip file you just downloaded. [if you downloaded all the files from folder "FAMILY", the file should probably be named FAMILY.zip]. This will create a folder [for example "FAMILY'"] in the downloads or recents in the FILE app which contains all of the photos you want to download.
6. Now open the folder and, in the top-right corner click the three dots > select and click the select all in the top-left corner.
7. After you have selected all of the photos, click the box with the arrow in the bottom-left corner and click save images.
Now you have all your images in the recents folder in your photos app.
My software is IOS 14.7.1
I hope this helped.
