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.

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...

Yup!! Figured out this work around earlier today, and the update with confirming pictures is appreciated. Since most people HATE having to use icloud to store photos (due to their short storage amount and high fees); the previous version was much more successful, where Dropbox wasn't blocked from mutiple uploads from the inital Camera roll / uplodaing process... Since I have many many many folders and files in my Dropbox, this new way is very time consuming and overall annoying; hopefully we can get the faster feature back... Thanks again for the update!!!
- Try to download from drop box to your phone or computer into anything other than Dropbox multiples of pictures. See if you find it just add easy.
- Thank you

- It seems my post was deleted, the point is if you try to move multiple pictures out of drop box you can't.
- RichIt was caught by the spam filters for some reason. I released it.
- No thanks, it's obvious to everyone on here what's happening, and other than all the explanations and help to move a picture, it should be just simply click the button like we used to do before money making came into it.
