How to move many photos from the Dropbox mobile app to Google Photos on an iPad?
I am collecting photos from many parents for a team banquet…now i have hundreds of photos uploaded from various people that i need to move to Google Photos or something similar to create a video montage.
I cannot export the photos unless I select them one by one (UGH)…is there another option to move them all to google in bulk? Or to another app to make a simple video montage??? Thank you.

Hi Jlfan, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In general, you would need to export files and images one by one on the iPad, as it isn't possible to move them in bulk.
Are you only able to access your images via the iPad, or do you have access to a desktop machine either via the desktop app or website?
This will help me to assist further!
I could probably log in from my husbands work computer but easier to use my iPad and I phone in order to share to protector via coach’s a MacBook. Looking to put a few hundred pictures in a simple montage set to music to play during kids banquet.

There's really no easy way to do this from your iPad. Dropbox and Google don't have a utility to transfer photos from Dropbox to Google Photos. The only way to do this on the iPad would be to export them one at a time, then upload them to Google Photos. On a computer you could easily download the files in bulk, then upload them to Photos.
Assuming Google Photos can import files from Google Drive (and I don't know if it can), you could use a third-party transfer service, like MultCloud or others, to transfer files in bulk between services, then import them from Drive to Photos. Maybe. As mentioned, I don't know if Photos can import from Drive or how the services may be linked.
