Dropbox and Whatsapp

Share an image from a Dropbox folder into Whatsapp on Galaxy S6 Edge? Anyone managed it before? If so - please share - and please make it EASY for non-techies to be able to use it? Whatsapp is great when initiating a transfer from whatsapp, Dropbox is....... ummm, well, - I think [censored] would be accurate.

    Sarwar1 - thats nothing at all to do with Dropbox, you need to contact WhatsApp support for that.

    Also posting your number on a Public forum is REALLY unsafe. I cannot stress enough that you shouldnt do it.

    Start in WhatsApp, not Dropbox. When you're in WhatsApp you'll have an option to share a file with your contact. Dropbox should be one of the sources you can choose from. It's very simple.

    And please watch your language here. Your post has been edited.

    My daughter has a Motorola moto 4g phone - She has many photos and videos sent to her via WhatsApp on phone but these will not upload to the computer.  Photos that she has taken herself with her phone have no trouble uploading.  Has anyone any suggestions as to what may be the problem.  She has moved the photos and videos to dropbox,and dropbox on phone shows that they are there, but the computer does not recognise that these photos are there.
