How can I download images from my WhatsApp Business catalog link using Dropbox?

Please, how can I download images from my WhatsApp Business catalog link, using Dropbox?

Thank you.

Hi there, @MysticLenz, and thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

Can you please clarify how this link was generated?

And are you trying to save files from this link to your Dropbox account?

If the link doesn't have an option to export files directly to other apps, I believe you'd need to save the files to your device first and then upload them to Dropbox.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question, though.

Thanks!

The thing is, I use WhatsApp Business for my photography — the images in my catalog (the link), I was trying to use Dropbox to figure out how I could download the images, using the WhatsApp link. And I don't have these images saved elsewhere, only on the catalog. Please, I need help to figure it out. Thank you.

Hey @MysticLenz, where are you trying to download the images to? Your device or do you want to save them to Dropbox?

If the latter, saving them to your device first, would be the best option here. 

Once they're saved to the device, you can upload them to your Dropbox.

Doesn't the link allow for them to be downloaded?

I want to save them to my device. But figuring out how to use Dropbox to achieve this, is becoming confusing.

Here's the link (if you don't mind): https://wa.me/p/7017740325012063/2348160257213

In that case, I don't think Dropbox can help with this, @MysticLenz.

You might want to reach out to WhatsApp for support and ask them how you can download the files from the link.

In the case of reaching out to Whatsapp Support, I've done that, but to no avail.

Hey @MysticLenz, sorry for jumping in. Since we can’t offer much in this scenario, like Hannah mentioned above, I’ll leave this thread open in case other users have had a similar experience and they can help with this.
