3 years agoHi Kimcarsten , it all depends on what you use, and where the content is currently.
If you have these files locally on your computer, then you can use the Dropbox desktop app, in order to copy & paste the content from iCloud, to Dropbox and have them sync over to your account.
Essentially when you install, and use our app, a Dropbox folder is created with all of your content there. When you place your files there, they should sync to your account online.
If you're using the web, then you'd need to download them locally, and then use our website, in order to upload them to your Dropbox account.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Everything is in photos. I want to transfer my work photos and delete them from my photos library at the same time to clean up my photos on April.

Can you please clarify if you're using the Desktop app, mobile app or the Dropbox website?
