Viewing images from Dropbox in Faststone on laptop
Dear folks
Is it possible to open and view images from a Dropbox folder in Faststone image viewer (on laptop)
Thanks

Hey Dantheman 101 - thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!
Your Dropbox folder is just another folder on your computer, only with syncing properties and has nothing to do with the preview of your files locally on your laptop; this is handled by your computer's OS and the 3rd party apps you'll be using to open the mentioned files.
I'd only suggest that you made sure that the files are available offline to your computer and not online only before trying to open them.
I hope this helps!
