My photos aren't locally synced - how do I export them to Lightroom?

[xtrmpro66]

I have photos on Dropbox that are not on my hard drive. I would like to export them to Lightroom, so that I can edit them. I have a folder on my computer under Dropbox, that is empty. Is there a way to move my photos from dropbox into that folder? Any help is appreciated.

Hey @xtrmpro66! Thanks for your post.

Are these Dropbox photos removed from your desktop app via selective sync, or did you right click on them and set them to be online-only instead? 

If you’re not sure, you can also send me a screenshot of what you see on your end. 

Ping me, when you’re ready.
