How can I move my photos in the DropBox Cloud to iCloud or iPhone Photos?

I have sorted out how to get my Dropbox photos from the cloud (they are not on my PC) to an iCloud Files folder. But how can I do a batch save to save them to iPhotos on my iPhone - or somehow use iCloud Photos?

While on my phone - I can see all of these photos in an iCloud File Folder - but they are not in iPhone photos. From the iCloud folder I can select a few at time and choose save - but if I select all and try to save nothing happens.

Most of the instructions out there have the photos local on a PC and then you can upload them into iCloud Photos - but again - I have over 10000 photos in the cloud in DropBox I would like more easily accessible on my iPhone - but can't see to move from cloud to phone at all.
