    Hi mrswle; welcome to our Community!

     

    To directly cut to the chase, please note that you can export photos or videos to your device’s “Camera Roll” album while other files can be exported to applications that support their file types.

     

    To export a photo or video to your device:

     

    • Open the Dropbox app and open the photo or video that you would like to export
    • Tap the ellipsis (..) on the top-right and select “Export”
    • Tap “Save Image” (or “Save Video”) to save this file locally to your device

     

    To export other files:

     

    • Open the file you’d like to export in the Dropbox app
    • Tap the ellipsis (..) on the top-right and select “Export”. You will now see two rows of apps.
    • In the lower row, tap “Open In…” - this will show you a list of apps to export this file to. If you don’t see any apps indicated, you will need to download an app that supports this filetype.

    Please note that exporting a file saves a copy of the file to another app and that exported files will not sync with your Dropbox account.

     

    I hope this information helps and please let me know if you have any more questions.
