iPhotos no longer working with iCloud on my iMac after updating dropbox
How do move my iPhotos library to a local folder on my iMac so that it once again syncs with iCloud. I need my iPhone to synch with my apps through iCloud.

Dropbox StaffHi Steve A.15, let's jump right into this!
Can you give me some additional info, in regards to your iPhotos, and what is happening exactly with them? Are you not able to sync the changes?
You mentioned you want to move your library to a local folder. Where is it located right now?
Any additional info will be more than helpful, Steve.
Hi Megan
forgot to say that my photos that synced previous to the upgrade are now on the Dropbox cloud. My issue is that my iPhone no longer syncs with my iMac through iCloud. Which means I cannot view them on my iMac.

Sorry to jump in here, Steve A.15.
If you'd previously synced your Photos library to Dropbox, I'm afraid that this will no longer be possible.
This is one of the expected changes with the new Dropbox for macOS version.
I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you have any questions.
Can I undo the drop box update and get the iPhotos App to work on my iMac again? I need to get the photos from my phone onto my iMac. Are you telling me I have lost that functionality because I installed the latest Dropbox update. If so is there anyway I can roll back the dropbox update and get iPhotos working on my iMac again - or will I have to go to Apple to fix this Dropbox problem.
Or should I just take my data off dropbox, delete the Dropbox App from my computer and work with Dropbox on line instead - would that work?
Also just to add my photos from my iPhone are not syncing to Dropbox which I think you asked me.
