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


Availability

Important: Access to Dropbox on Android has not been rolled out to all customers. If you don't see it in Photoroom, you don't have it yet.


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.

  2. On the Home screen, select Start from photo to display the Choose an image screen.

  3. Select Dropbox at the top.

  4. Select Connect to Dropbox.
    ​
    ​Note: If there is no Connect to Dropbox option and you can see your Dropbox content, it means your Dropbox is already connected. This can happen if you have previously connected Dropbox on Android or by using the Web App version of Photoroom.
