copying images from one folder to another
Hi, I cannot copy an image in one folder and then paste it in another folder. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for getting back to me here verlaat, and I'm glad to hear you found your own workaround for this!
If you do prefer to use the website at all, copying a file is possible but you won't be able to use the keyboard shortcuts to do so.
You can instead select the file on the website, and click the "..." button to the right of the file name to see the option "Copy". When you choose this, you'll be prompted to choose a location for the copy of the file to be added in Dropbox.
If there's anything else that I can help with though, please don't hesitate to get back to me here. I'd be more than happy to help out. :grin:
I hope you have a great week ahead!

Dropbox StaffHey there verlaat, I hope you're well today!
Can you clarify for me where you're taking these steps from? Eg. the desktop app, website or mobile app.
Also, where exactly are you running into an issue with this process? Are you not able to see the option to copy/paste perhaps?
Please let me know which steps your taking, and send along any relevant screenshots that you believe might be helpful.
Keep me posted!
Hi Daphne,
I am fine, thanks Daphne, and you?
Being totally new to Dropbox I tried to copy a file in a folder and paste it into another folder, in dropbox.com.
I am now doing the copying and pasting on my pc and allow dropbox to synchronise it onto the web.
Thanks for your response.
