Can I save multiple photos from Dropbox to the camera roll on my iPhone?
Is there a way to save multiple images to my camera roll all at one time on my iphone. I am using drop box a lot but have to click on every image and view it individually before I can save it to my c...

"Files" is an Apple app in and of itself (part of iOS 11) that allows you to connect to other cloud storage systems all in a single app. You can add your Dropbox account to it (along with other cloud service accounts) and access them all in a single application along with files that are stored on your phone from other applications.
If you select Save to Files you can easily select multiple photos from your Camera Roll and upload them to Dropbox.
Four photos selected; choose Save to FilesOnce in Files, select your Dropbox account

Dropbox StaffHey krisgent,
I'd be glad to follow-up on that!
Just to clarify, so that I reproduce and troubleshoot with you, are you trying to export multiple images to your gallery manually and you're unable to get this with the new configuration?
Please let me know the steps you're following in you reply here.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, exactly.
I will share my screenshots here:
1 step: Selecting images on my dropbox app
2 step: Save to device
3 step: Selecting location
4 step: Exporting
Result: Only one image out of four is saved
I tried multiple things already, I made an apart "dropbox" folder on my phone to save files there, didn't work.
Uninstall, reinstall the app, rebooted my phone etc. etc.. really, nothing works.
Altough, I can save them if I select one image at a time.. I am photographer and it's very frustrating if I need to save more than 40 images at once. Especially if before it was possible, without any problems..
Hope I explained everything good. Thank you for your help!
Hello Jane
Sorry, my english is not too good, I didn't really understand what you mean.. Do I have to "submit a help request" ?
I found out another strange thing, following with screenshots again:
1. Selecting images in dropbox app.
2. In the "Dropbox" folder, while I'm exporting to my phone, you see a few images already there.
3. But in the actual gallery there is only 1 image..
Don't understand.. Maybe I simply have a problem with my phone? After Nougat android update?
Looks like my phone doesn't "recognise" dropbox files anymore..
Thank you for your time and help!

Why can't I do what I was able to last time I used dropbox? Its difficult to export to my device. I need a lot of pictures for a christening for a friend .
Can you put Dropbox back to normal p!ease.
just so you know , any menu i use or try to use that used to work are all dulled out and dont work. Its as if you have stopped us on purpose from moving our pictures to another device , it doesnt matter which item in a list that i try it always defaults to anly moving or sharing a picture with dropbox. which is actually no good when i need them on another device to use for something other than looking at them on dropbox, its getting very annoying now.
As you can see by the time im posting this , iv been trying for hours to do what normally takes a couple of minutes. why have you changed the menus so we cant do what we always have?
If its not put right ill be deleting my account and spreading the word of a dishonest company holding peoples photos for ransom on facebook, instagram twitter and any other public reaching site i can register with. this is totally out of order and even morally criminal.
Hello Jane
Thank you, I did it! And this time I saved 2 images, they appeared on my gallery after 10 minutes or so.. But then I tried to save 6, it doesn't appear even after 1 hour.. Agan, theoretically it IS there, but in real - not.
I guess it can be something with transfering problem? Or maybe something with internal storage? I'm really out of thoughts :(
Thank you!
