How can I upload my iCloud photos to my Dropbox account?
I have run out of space on iPhone due to excessive photos. I want to move my photos to dropbox. Photos are on iCloud. What steps do I take to move the photos from my iCloud account to my dropbox account? Both are on the cloud.
The iCloud photos are accessible on my macbook. I tried dragging and dropping and that didn’t work.
I don’t have the dropbox app on macbook. Not sure I have the space for it.
Thank you!

Unfortunately you need to download the files first - and then upload.
As a work around, are they still on your phone on camera roll? You could use Camera Uploads to auto upload them to Dropbox which would then allow you to delete from iCloud. Note that they'd need to be on the device itself, however for this to work. They'd also not auto delete once uploaded, but, you can manually do that afterwards to recover the local space.
