    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.

I'm finding the same problem. Dropbox wants me to upgrade now that they've put all my photos in Dropbox. I can't use iphoto anymore. I want to quite Dropbox entirely. I want to be able to import my photos as before, which went right into iphoto for editing. How can I disable Dropbox, while retaining all my photos and having new photo imports go directly to iphoto?
