Hi, is there an attachment mechanism I am not seeing? All I see is the option to insert a link or embed a photo. And when I tried to insert an embedded photo it would not work. There is not much to the image - it shows the photo location as "dropbox" same as mentioned in my post.

Hi David H.78, thanks for the screenshot!
Do you use your mobile or website when viewing the content you mentioned above?
Provided that the content is part of a shared folder, it should show you the path of the folder indeed. You mentioned that you don't have any photos in your Dropbox directory on your end, and that the file is part of a shared folder. Could you send me another screenshot of the file above, as shown in your shared folder?
I am viewing Dropbox via desktop browser. To clarify, I have photos in Dropbox, just none in the root folder. Here is a screenshot of the same file in the shared folder as requested. And here the path is correct. This was the same path I was expecting to see in the info pane in Photos so it's good to know that's how it should work.

Hi David H.78, can you try checking the info of this specific file on your Photos tab, but from a different browser?
Do you get the same results?
