I am trying to sync my iCloud photos that I have downloaded to a Photos library on my Mac device into the Dropbox folder on my machine and I am trying to open it in the Dropbox mobile app.

Hi @Kajaoline , thanks for messaging the Community!
Just for clarification, are you trying to sync your Photos library on your Mac device into the Dropbox folder on your machine? Are you uploading the file to the Dropbox site instead?
Do you know if that file is compatible with your iPhone? Are you trying to open it in the Dropbox mobile app or the Photos app on the phone?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
