    Hey there (mob2), while you can currently add informative captions on your Dropbox Showcases & on attached media previews within a Dropbox Paper doc, there isn’t currently a way to create photo captions on image previews on Dropbox online. 
     
    If you don’t mind me asking, can you elaborate a bit on what would be the ideal end-result, in order to further address your initial inquiry? Thanks in advance & happy Friday!

      Hi Jane, thanks for your response but I don't want to copy/paste captions for 50-100 photos in the files preview in Dropbox paper when the caption is already embedded in Photoshop's file info of the picture.

      I would think your coders could set up a caption field using the caption already embeded in the file info of the picture.(?) 

      Thanks, mob2
