How to download photos from Dropbox to iPhone Photos app?

Is there a way to download photos I have stored in a Dropbox folder to my iPhone Photo Stream using the Dropbox iOS app? There should be a way to do this but I can't figure it out. I know there's a "Make Available Offline" feature but that doesn't appear to be it. (I can't figure out what that's for either but that's another question).  I just want to be able to download photos to my iPhone Photos.

 

Thanks!

  • Using my IPhone, slect the image and just select the upper right three little circles which brings up a list of options. Then you select Export, then Save Image. This will save the image to your Photos. Not sure if there is a batch mode.

    They work with your device if you have set up the Aptoide App on your Android device. Aptoide APK Any kind of method we will certainly offer in-dept knowledge concerning the app.

    You need to download the files individually to the Camera Roll and then to the Photo Stream - there isnt an automated way I'm afraid.

      Right, but can you download them using the iOS Dropbox app?  If so, how?  This seems like a pretty reasonable thing to want to do.  Sometimes people want to edit photos or their phone or do other things with them that can't be done if they're silo'd in Dropbox.
