Can I export multiple photos from the Dropbox app into iOS Photos app?

Hi, how do I download multiple photos from Dropbox app to iphone picture folder?

  • On the phone, you can't. The Dropbox app can only download them back to your phone one at a time. You might be able to connect your phone to your computer and transfer them manually or with iTunes or some other iPhone transfer utility.

      Business account here. I gave this “solution” a thumbs up because it’s the correct answer. However, this is complete horsesh*t behavior for 2020 on the part of DropBox. Really? I can’t select multiple photos at in the DropBox iOS app and simply “export/share” them directly to the camera roll? Really DropBox folks?? This seems to be such a fundamental action that I was in disbelief when I actually realized I had to export photos one at a time to the camera roll.
