    This would be correct for the Dropbox mobile app, only crop and rotate are available. Saving the file will overwrite the original and there is no undo option.

     

    When you download the file, you're editing the file in another app entirely, which is why you get more options.

Hi Jay, this is the screen I get when I try and edit a photo which is in the cloud and not on my Ipad, using the Dropbox edit feature.  There only seems to be a couple of options, Rotate and Crop, is that right?
