Moving files from Dropbox to my iPad
I currently have 1Tb of space in my Dropbox to house a number of video files. I would like to move them to my iPad hard drive so that I can get by witha 2Gb Dropbox. How can I do this?

Hi Jrby,
- Install the Dropbox iOS app in your iPad if you have not already.
- Open the Dropbox app, go to Files tab, and browse the video file.
- Click the options menu (...) on top right, and select Export.
- Then select Save Video, and it will save the video file to your camera roll. You have to do it for each video file. Later you may organize them in albums/folders.

Can I then move the files to a folder elsewhere than Photos?

Where do you want to move? In iOS, you do not have true file structure, you can access a file via a supported app. In your Photos app all videos stay under the album Video. You can certainly save the videos in another supported app. Or you can just keep them in Photos, and organize them in new albums if you like, it is just like folders.

The new iPad Pro has file structure now. How can I move a folder of PDFs from the Dropbox app into the dedicated files app on the iPad Pro?
