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?

"Files" is an Apple app in and of itself (part of iOS 11) that allows you to connect to other cloud storage systems all in a single app. You can add your Dropbox account to it (along with other cloud service accounts) and access them all in a single application along with files that are stored on your phone from other applications.
If you select Save to Files you can easily select multiple photos from your Camera Roll and upload them to Dropbox.

No, there's isn't. You can only export one photo at a time.

It's silly. Who did design this app? I'm disappointed. I will use some other kind of cloud.
- Col3New member | Level 2Iv deleted my Dropbox account and won't be using it again.
As soon as making money comes into it you've made it difficult to use so trying to force upgrades.
I'm afraid I don't like your methods of making a few pounds so I won't be using drop box again.
I hope everyone else does what I am as they're are plenty of free sites out there that aren't trying to scam they're users.

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.
