How to transfer Photos from Dropbox to iPad?

I would like to move 8 photos from Dropbox (the free app) to my iPad Photo album. From watching You Tube videos, I see that this used to be an easy process. But it appears that this function is no longer available. Does anyone know if it can be done and how to do it? Thx

What function is no longer available? What does drop box support say?

This are the steps, albeit from 6-8 years ago and consistent with You Tube videos….


To export a file on the Dropbox mobile app with your Android phone:

  1. Open the Dropbox mobile app.
  2. Tap the Files tab.
  3. Tap the “ (vertical ellipsis) next to the file you’d like to export.
  4. Save the file locally or share the file with other apps:
    • To save the file locally, tap Save To Device.
    • To export the file to another app, tap Share, tap Send copy of file, then select the app you’d like to open the file with.


The Save to Device, Share or Send Copy of File functions no longer exist. Dropbox Support won’t respond to me unless I upgrade to their Paid app. Hence, why I am outreaching to the Apple Community for guidance.
