Can’t select and export multiple files in the Dropbox app?
Hey everyone,
Just recently switched to iPhone and I’m a little appalled at how hard it is to use the Dropbox app. As far as I can tell, there is no way to select all files at once in a folder (not even by dragging to select or anything)? Right now I am trying to use Dropbox to move all my photos from my android phone to my iPhone, and as you can imagine, selecting 7,000 photos one by one is nearly impossible. Also, if I select the entire folder with all the files in it, the export button is greyed out. Why is this made to be basically impossible? I’m sure I’m not the only one that works with lots of files and needs to select all of the ones in a folder to export. It’s seems to be possible online, but then what’s the point of the app? Hoping for a resolution, thanks in advance…

Well then that is utterly retarded and needs to be fixed, I mean come on, I am paying $12 a month for a barely usable service. Those who are on the development team must not even be real creators. If only you could send files with iCloud then I'd ditch Dropbox altogether.
- You used to be able to. Then they took it away. Stupid as hell. Lost a business customer. Exporting everything and shutting it down.
