    I'm not aware of any nor have I seen any on here I'm afraid

    I suggest a simple Google Search to see if any such applications even exist.

    You will need to find a third party add on that can download and sync your text messages. Dropbox on its own cant do that

    Dropbox has no such feature and likely never will. There are third-party applications that you can use to backup your text messages to Dropbox.

    Can you provide an example of a third party to use in order to transfer selected IPhone text messages to DB in order to print them

    There are many good apps for this BUT they all require a folder name that has a "/" in it. DropBox will not let you use that character in a folder name. So....good luck!
