Not able to download a photo from Dropbox to my phone. Why?

I've always used my PC for Dropbox and now all I want to do is download a picture to "photos" on my phone and I can't seem to do it. Can anyone help?

    By using my son's seemingly unorthodox method of screen grabbing the photo and saving it I would say, yes, it has (?) Thank you so much for all your help ❤️

Hi, I'm back and somewhat frustrated. I tried going to Dropbox online and can see my photos. I check one and push download and it goes somewhere, I'm not sure where, and it's just a bunch of writing. When I click on it it says "cannot open". That's as far as I can get.
