Transferring photos to dropbox
I’ve tried to search how to transfer photos from apple to Dropbox but only articles on transferring from Dropbox which is odd. Im frustrated with limited organization functionality on photos. I want to keep my work life and personal separate but I can’t do that with photos. I don’t want my library to have work photos in them - want to put files in a separate place. So want to transfer to Dropbox but don’t know best way to begin.

Hi @Kimcarsten, thanks for messaging the Community!
Are you looking to migrate your entire Photos library into Dropbox, or do you wan tto manually have all your images stored on Dropbox?
This will help me to assist further!
- Thanks for responding. I’d like to just transfer my work photos. I keep albums for my clients but that doesn’t keep those photos out of my library. Trying to keep work and personal life separate so it’s easier to find things. Hopefully this makes sense. Will take me forever to go through all these pictures to organize separately- that’s why I want to make sure I do it right the first time.

Hi Kimcarsten , it sounds like you're using the mobile app, and specifically camera uploads to upload your content, am I right?
You also mentioned that you keep albums for your clients, but that doesn't keep these photos out of your library. Are you referring to the Photos versus Files tab on your mobile?
- I would just like to manually bring over my work photos. Thanks!
