How can I export images from Dropbox to Facebook?

I sell LuLaRoe and all of my inventory photos are on Dropbox.  If I want to post a photo from Dropbox, is there a way to do that without first going into Dropbox on my phone and saving it into my Cam...

    Hi Janice, while it isn’t possible for the Facebook app to import directly from Dropbox, you can do the opposite and export photos directly from your Dropbox app into the Facebook app using the following steps:
     
    - Open the file you’d like to export in the Dropbox app
    - Tap the ellipsis (..) on the top-right and select “Export”. You will now see two rows of apps.
    - In the lower row, tap “Open In
” - this will show you a list of apps to export this file to, and Facebook should be on the list. 
     
    Hope this helps!

Hey roshana, this is a feature that is available to a small number of users and only on dropbox.com, so if you don't see this option, it's likely that it's not currently available to you.

 

It could become available in the near future, though, so keep an eye out for it!

I finally had someone show me how she did it. She downloaded the Dropbox app to her desktop. 

This, of course, uses us my hard drive space, but I can now use it as a folder on my desktop to retrieve photos.
