Help! How to Transfer Photos From Dropbox TO iPhoto!?
I've searched the Dropbox site repeatedly. Twice, they list the answer for How to transfer photos from iPhoto to Dropbox. But, I want to do the reverse! I've emailed Dropbox: No response. By mistak...

I can't move individual pics or folders from online dropbox to my i-photo either.
Super frustrating.
Thats because you cannot just drag things from web pages in to applications - same as any program. The files need to physically exist on the computer first so you need to download them and THEN put them in iPhoto.
We need more info I'm afraid as to how you are trying to do it.
I eventually fixed this problem myself. I had to uninstall dropbox and then re-install it. In the set up process there is a point at which you can select not to sync your photos with dropbox. It is not obvious, you have to look for it carefully. I obviously missed it the first time round and I can't remember now exactly where it was so look carefully in the preferences. My iPhoto library then re-installed itself from the backup so I didn't lose any photos. I've used dropbox sins and it hasn't been a problem. The drop box help sites are of no help with this problem, they only want you to use dropbox!
