Can I save multiple photos from Dropbox to the camera roll on my iPhone?

Can I save multiple photos from Dropbox to the camera roll on my iPhone?

Is there a way to save multiple images to my camera roll all at one time on my iphone. I am using drop box a lot but have to click on every image and view it individually before I can save it to my camera roll.  This is incredibly time consuming. Is there any way using the app or website to just click the folder and move it to my camera roll?

No thanks, it's obvious to everyone on here what's happening, and other than all the explanations and help to move a picture, it should be just simply click the button like we used to do before money making came into it.

Hi  ajthen

 

There is a very simple trick. Uninstall Dropbox and install it again.

While installing, it asks if you agree to link camera photos to Dropbox, tick the box.

Now, it is done. All photos will go to Dropbox automatically.

Hope that this can help you.

Ok, now what about moving all photos OUT of Dropbox to your phone or computer?

Hey again Bunny1234, it’s my understanding that you’re probably inquiring about these steps, hence, if you haven’t seen the relevant instructions in the help center, you may have a look below: 
 
#If you're on an Android mobile:
- find the photo (or photos) you’d like to save locally in our app
- tap the down-arrow on the right
- tap on Export
- choose the location where you'd like to save a copy of your file (Note: if a location is not present in the list, it is not an available location for exporting Dropbox files). 
 
#If you're on an iPhone:
- find the photo in our app and tap to open it
- tap on the ellipsis icon (…) at the top
- tap on Export
- tap Save Image” (or Save Video”) to save this file locally to your device
 
#If you’d like to download all your images from the web, you can multi-select them, navigate towards the right-side of your browsing window where you’ll find the "Download" button & bulk-download them to your device. 
 
I hope this helps you!
