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 c...

"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.
Four photos selected; choose Save to FilesOnce in Files, select your Dropbox account
Can this be added to feature requests, it is an important feature

- This feature I think would really help my Dropbox experience becuase I need to save over 100 photos and it's hard and will take a long time if I have to save it one by one.
Yes, this feature is absolutely necessary on iPhone.
I will begin using google drive, just because as an internet marketer, I often (daily) need to move batches of images to my phone for instagram/social media posting. This can only be done, so without this feature, Dropbox simply does not cut the cake for internet marketers.
Unless this feature is added soon, I will be forced to use another application due to my (and others) required business infrastructure.
Thanks!

Hey ishbog,
I understand that the sorting functionality must be quite important to you and I'd be glad to suggest an alternative approach.
Have you thought of using Dropbox alongside with this app? It works well with Dropbox and it'll help you accomplish the organization of your photos for your social media updates.
I hope this is helpful to you, hope you have a great weekend ahead!
To able to download multiple photos from my app would be so much help!
How is this still not a thing??? This is pretty ridiculous on your guy’s part......
What about going the other way? I can take a single photo from Camera Roll to Dropbox, but I want to move about 75 photos from Camera Roll to Dropbox. As soon as I have more than one photo selected in Camera Roll, the Dropbox icon disappears from the available actions.
It has been two years since Exporting multiple photos to camera roll at once has been requested.
Nothing done yet!

- The craziest part is that this feature to upload multiple photos from the camera scroll was ALWAYS available - until the app updates we were forced to used!! Which is extremely inconvenient for the users and is probably a bad move - since uploading from Camera Roll 1-1000 photos in an instant is much faster and easier to use than any other app option, PLUS the user will automatically use more space with this feature!! Why remove something everyone repeatedly for years has used for the app, that also reduces the amount of storage of the photos, useless other applications of competition like MS or iPhone apps forced this horrible idea... all I’m pointing out is that if we the users are constantly asking FOR THE FEATURE TO BE BROUGHT - BACK - INTO usage - AND your clearly losing money based on LESS usage being filled - shouldn’t this be a priority to have...

Second, you can still upload multiple files to Dropbox from your Camera Roll (and I'm assuming you're on iOS) by saving them to the Files app. As long as you've added Dropbox as a Location within Files, you'll be able to select it when saving files to the Files app. It's as easy as selecting your photos, chosing Save to Files, and selecting Dropbox as the location.
Thanks for the update, but its the same issue whether importing or exporting... On the ios (for example) this feature no longer exist and there is no true way to add a "File" app location to the phone. I have both brand new ios and andriod, and the only option now available is creating a folder > adding files to folder > and exporting them one-by-one, which is annoying and time consuming. This was not the case in the previous versions, now when users like us want to add "mutiple photos we only have the options that can be seen in the photos attached... The first photo shows ONLY one picture being selcted to be added to Dropbox using my ios. The moment I select another photo - all of Dropbox options disappear and we are left with other applications, most people cringe at using... This WAS NOT the an issue, nor a missing feature, no a problem before the app updates - when do you think the company will decided to bring this back???... making users life easier while increasing their own revenue...
