Mobile: Exporting: "Save to Camera Roll"-option not available
Hi!
I use dropbox to sync up my files from my computer to my mobile devices (iphone and iPad). When I tried this morning to save my files to my phone, I discovered that the "Export"-button was miss...
Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen. Tap Share via... and then Save Image.
My use case is wanting to send files (usually pictures but other files as well) to people in text or email. I should be able to save a file to the local device (which is a Dropbox option) and then send that file directly in a text or email, not a link, without having to save it to my camera roll.

Hey all,
Seems that there are many users who would like to use this functionality more!
To export your files to your Camera roll, you could just follow these steps (just summarizing Rich's reply above):
- Open the Dropbox app and open the photo or video that you would like to export
- Tap the ellipsis (..) on the top-right and select “Export”
- Tap “Save Image” (or “Save Video”) to save this file locally to your Camera rollYou can also have a look at the Offlining feature here. :iphone:
Happy Dropboxing ahead, please let me know if you have more questions and I'd be glad to follow-up here!
