My photos aren't locally synced - how do I export them to Lightroom?

I have photos on Dropbox that are not on my hard drive. I would like to export them to Lightroom, so that I can edit them. I have a folder on my computer under Dropbox, that is empty. Is there a way to move my photos from dropbox into that folder? Any help is appreciated.

    Hey xtrmpro66! Thanks for your post.

     

    Are these Dropbox photos removed from your desktop app via selective sync, or did you right click on them and set them to be online-only instead? 

     

    If you’re not sure, you can also send me a screenshot of what you see on your end. 

     

    Ping me, when you’re ready.
