On the Web App, you can connect your Dropbox to the Add images dialog. Once the connection is in place, you can pick images from your Dropbox to use in Photoroom.

Note: Setting up the connection is a one-time task, unless it becomes disconnected again.


Before you start

You need to have a Dropbox account. You can use a free account or a paid account.

To create a Dropbox account, see the Dropbox website.

Important: Each user can connect one Dropbox account. It is one Dropbox per user, not per Space.


Connect Photoroom to Dropbox

To connect Photoroom to Dropbox:

  1. Log in to your Dropbox account.

  2. Select the Space that you want to work in.
    ​
    ​Note: Your Dropbox is associated with your user account, not one particular Space.
    ​

  3. Select the Space switcher menu and then select Manage Space.

  4. Under Account, select Connections.
    ​


    ​

  5. Select the Connect option for Dropbox.

  6. Select Connect Dropbox.

  7. If prompted, select Allow to give Photoroom permission to view your Dropbox content and account information.
    Photoroom connects to your Dropbox. If you also use the Android version of Photoroom, that will detect the connection to Dropbox too.


​Note: Alternatively, you can connect from the More sources tab on the Add images dialog. It has options for adding Dropbox and managing your connections. Manage connections takes you to the Connections section under your Account.

Use Dropbox images in Photoroom

To use Dropbox images in Photoroom, connect your Dropbox to Photoroom (see above) and then:

    The Add images dialog is available from many places, including:
    ​

    • Home page > Start from a photo

    • Home page > Remove a background

    • Home page > Generate AI backgrounds

    • Home page > Retouch an image

    • Any AI tool's photo upload step

    • Batch > Add images

    • Product editor > Insert > Brand Library
      ​
      ​

  2. Select the Dropbox tab.

  3. If your Dropbox has files organized into folders, select the folders to navigate into the sub-folders. Use the back arrow to go back to the parent folder.
    ​

  4. When you get to the images, select the images that you want to use in Photoroom.

  5. Select Add image.
    Photoroom opens the images in the appropriate editor, ready for you to work with it.
    ​
    ​Note: Some AI tools, such as Recolor, do not have an Add image option. Instead, they automatically add the image and open the editor when you select an image.
