Not able to download a photo from Dropbox to my phone. Why?
I've always used my PC for Dropbox and now all I want to do is download a picture to "photos" on my phone and I can't seem to do it. Can anyone help?

Dropbox StaffHey Marshal mellow, thanks for your post.
If I understand correctly, you're having trouble downloading a file from Dropbox to your mobile device, right?
Have you taken a look at the steps in this article, to see if they help?
Keep me posted.
- Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for trying to help me. When I use Dropbox I feel really stupid 😭. When I push on the app all I can see are my camera pics and I can't seem to get farther than that no matter what I push- Hannah
No, please don't feel like that! We'll get to the bottom of this together, step by step! 🙂
You want to download a photo to the device, right?
First of all, are you on an Android phone or an iPhone?
And are you able to locate the photo in question when you open the Dropbox app?
- Hi! I was able to find "all files". I chose any pic and downloaded it. Then when it said "open" I pushed it it and it was there with a lot of others I had apparently tried before. They were just letters like "you.jpg." or "me.jpg" and they wouldn't open
