Dropbox - removal of pics - how to move somewhere else

Many years ago- when there were limited storage photo options - I saved quite a lot of folders/photos on Dropbox. I do not pay and have reached maximum capacity and don't find them easy to upload to Photobox etc from Dropbox. Since I've reached max capacity for Dropbox non payment I have lots of photos on my phone backed up to Google.

What does everyone rose fo with their photos? Not keen to pay as have just taken early retirement/redundancy and also Oving house.

    First off, can you check your Photos page here, and let me know if you can see all of your photos there? 

     

    If yes, you can select the files you’d like to move out of Dropbox and download them to your device directly. 

     

    Let me know if you need further help though.
