I am unable to copy and paste camera uploads into a picture file on my computer.
I cannot copy and paste camera uploads into a picture file on my computer. I used to take my camera uploads and put them in picture files to save space on my iPhone and organize my photos. Now, I cannot copy multiple pictures and paste them, there is no option. They only allow me to move them into a different Dropbox file.

Hey mlayton619, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Instead of doing this via the photos tab, have you tried using the homepage to select the files you'd like and move them or download them from there instead?

I discovered this on my own yesterday - took some trial and error though. When did the change it to download?

Hi mlayton619, there is a possibility this has to do with your browser, since the drag-and-drop it works on my end.
Have you tried a different browser perhaps, just to check the behavior there?

I actually found that I have to select the photos I want and download them. Then I can put them in any folder I want, plus delete them out of dropbox giving me more space for future pictures.
