This is what work for me.

 

Open the Dropbox app.

Find the photo you need. Click on the arrow to the right.

Chose "Export".

Chose alternative: Upload to Photos.

 

Open the app Photos.

Chose: Save to the device.

 

Now the photo is available for all other apps on the device.

    I should add the there is an alternative "Save to device" at the top of "Export" menue. For some reason this alternative is grayed out for me (it is not available). But if it is active on you device, than you don't need to use "Photo" app at all.
