    Super frustrating.

    Thats because you cannot just drag things from web pages in to applications - same as any program. The files need to physically exist on the computer first so you need to download them and THEN put them in iPhoto.

    We need more info I'm afraid as to how you are trying to do it.

I had to install dropbox on my own macbook air for work. It has automatically uploaded all my photos from iPhoto (something I didn't want). It now says my dropbox storage is full plus it has disabled the iPhoto app so that when you click on it, it says "closing the library".

I can't open iPhoto, I can't upload any more photos and I don't know how to transfer my photos back from dropbox and stop it happening again.

I tried dragging the 'camera upload' icon on dropbox to my iPhoto icon as suggested above but it doesn't work.

Any advice please?
