"Files" is an Apple app in and of itself (part of iOS 11) that allows you to connect to other cloud storage systems all in a single app. You can add your Dropbox account to it (along with other cloud service accounts) and access them all in a single application along with files that are stored on your phone from other applications.
If you select Save to Files you can easily select multiple photos from your Camera Roll and upload them to Dropbox.
Four photos selected; choose Save to FilesOnce in Files, select your Dropbox account

9 years agoThanks for the detailed reply and the screenshots, I appreciate that a lot!
I was able to go through the same steps with you, please let me clarify below.
Seems that the issue you have experienced is because the gallery does not recognize the new Dropbox folder that was created to store the downloaded photos. The files are exported to your device as expected, though the pictures may not appear on your gallery.
To get past that, you‘ll have to go to your “My files” folder on your mobile and choose to “Move” your downloaded pictures inside your DCIM or any other folder that is also reflected on your gallery.
Hope this is helpful to you. Please keep me updated on how this works for you here!
Kind regards,

just so you know , any menu i use or try to use that used to work are all dulled out and dont work. Its as if you have stopped us on purpose from moving our pictures to another device , it doesnt matter which item in a list that i try it always defaults to anly moving or sharing a picture with dropbox. which is actually no good when i need them on another device to use for something other than looking at them on dropbox, its getting very annoying now.
As you can see by the time im posting this , iv been trying for hours to do what normally takes a couple of minutes. why have you changed the menus so we cant do what we always have?
If its not put right ill be deleting my account and spreading the word of a dishonest company holding peoples photos for ransom on facebook, instagram twitter and any other public reaching site i can register with. this is totally out of order and even morally criminal.
