Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
Dropbox can currently sync and incrementally update the dropbox iphoto folder with iphotos library. Can it do the same with the new photos?
As you are aware, Apple have retired iPhoto and replaced it with their new Photos application.
Unfortunately, import from the new Photos program isn't yet supported.
A workaround posted elsewhere here suggested photos can be exported to Dropbox by means of the export feature in Photos.

Hi Ed, Yes, I still don't have a solution.
Hi Amitabh and Ed, I have the same problem and cannot find how to do it. Thanks in advance for any help!
Same problem for me.

Thank you Robert, it's brilliant! I would like to add that after exporting to my folders into Dropbox, they automatically sync to Picasa, which I still use to sort them by folders also, which is not possible in Photo. Then I delete them from my Photo library.
A bit complicated, but it works very well.
