Images for gallery

I am a novice, sorry for the lame question, but I need to make an app that searches images based on their tags. Since all apps are located in the Applications/[my app] folder, all images to be sorted (3K+) need to be relocated into this new folder? If so, is there a way to make a redirecting link to the existent folder I already have?

    When you create an app you can specify either App Folder access or Full Dropbox access. If you selected App Folder, then the app will be limited to the specific folder for that app, i.e. Applications\[your app]. However, if you select Full Dropbox, then the app will have access to the entire Dropbox account.
