How to move photos into folders?

[Steve W.33]

Hello How do I move photos from my camera upload folder to another folder?

Open your dropbox folder (on your computer), select files, cut 'em, move to other folder and past 'em.

Hi sorry I am trying to do the same thing as Steve W, do you mean to move to another folder i have to cut and paste them?

Drag - n-dropt should do it.

Hi! Is this only possible to do on the desktop version? I have been searching for a way to move my recently uploaded photos to specific folders but I'm not able to do so in the web version.

None of this seems to work. I want to move some photos to a shared file folder and can't figure it out. Drag and drop doesn't work. Neither does copy and paste. Please advise.

In a PC where you have your Dropbox and the photos you want to move:

• locate the photos
• select all the photos you want to move
• use Cut / Paste.

You can use drag and drop as well.

When the photos are moved from one Dropbox folder to another Dropbox folder,  Dropbox will sync only the location. This will take just few seconds (perhaps a couple of minutes) so Dropbox will be able to update index.

If you move photos (or files) from a Non Dropbox folder to Dropbox, files needs to be uploaded to the cloud. Upload time depends on the amount of photos you want to upload, the size of the photos, your Internet connection speed, your settings (upload speed limit) and other hardware factors.

Having your photos on Dropbox is a great way to share it between your devices or share it with family and friends. 

From time to time, backup your Dropbox content and important data to DVD, USB, NAS or HDD for data protection.

Thanks for the speedy reply, but I guess that only works for PC, certainly not for Mac, sad to say.

Will work for Mac too, but the dropbox client must be running.  Using web page www.dropbox.com/home you can click on space beside filename and a "move" appears at the top (c.f. 'more').

Thank you! That works, but this is a remarkably difficult process. Just to get this far took a lot of time and now I am faced with two very daunting issues: 1) choosing each shot is near impossible as the image is so small in this way; and 2) once I move them to another file they disappear from this one. There needs to be an elegant way to place a number of photos in one file into another. My needs are simple: I have a lot of uploaded photos and would like to share a portion of them with specific friends in another file that they can add photos to as well. I can't be the only person who thought of this.
