Hey Nangie, welcome to our Community!
There's no direct way that I know of, that you can connect your Dropbox account to Photomyne.
I'd also suggest what you already mentioned: downloading the content locally, and then adding it to Dropbox either using our website, or our desktop app.
If you don't have enough local space in order to do that, maybe an external hard drive would come in handy. Otherwise, downloading the files in small batches might be the way to go on about it.
Using a third party app might also work, but it is outside the scope of my support to suggest one. This is why we have our Community here. If any other users know of another way to do this, they're welcome to jump in here and share their knowledge with you.
I hope this helps!

2 months agoHey Nangie, the Dropbox mobile app is more or less like the website, in the sense that the files don't take up space on your phone.
You can access them if the device is connected to the internet, but you can make any file you want available offline, so that you can access it when the device is not connected.
Those files will take up space, though.
I hope this helps!
