Downloading Photos from the site

Hello 

 

In an effort to organize my photos I am in the process of create an inventory of all my photos for the last 20 years  I have photos in many places: Hard-drive, Drop box and Google. Over the years I was good at uploading my photos but not good at deleting and editing therefore I have lots of excess photos. 

I have read that it is best to put your photos all in once place before deleting, editing and backup 

Is there a way of downloading everything from Dropbox to create this inventory or what would you recommend? 

Ideas very welcome.

    Hi Stols121, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    If you have the Dropbox desktop application, this would automatically sync any files from the site to your machine, essentially downloading them to your computer.

     

    You can also download entire folders from the site, provided that it's less than 250 GB in total, and fewer than 10,000 files.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
