Re: Dropbox
I wasn't familiar with Drop Box so I just watched the video on their site. From what I heard, it sounds like the images are in a Drop Box folder on your computer and on the web. Can't you just navigate to the Drop Box folder on your computer to open the image(s)? If not, you could view them on the web, right-click copy and then paste as new image in PSP. Again, since I don't have Drop Box I can't experiment with it so these are just my thoughts.

Re: Dropbox
Kathy is correct.
If you have the drop-box app on your computer and it has properly synced the file you're more than able to open the file like any other file since dropbox actually downloads it to your computer into the special Drop Box folder.
When you save your edits they should be synced to your drop-box account just like normal.
Otherwise, if you're on someone else's computer you can just log into your drop-box account and download the file.
I've tried this with DropBox, SkyDrive, and GoogleDrive.
If you were talking about linking PSP itself to your dropbox account...then no.

Re: Dropbox
From the Dropbox website I have found that I can download the photos one by one to the computer but not as a batch. From there I can import into PSP. It takes a long time for this process.

Re: Dropbox
Will Dropbox allow you to load a zip ile of images and then download them? That could be a way of getting multiple items .
May be size limitations that affect that though.

Re: Dropbox
Downloading multiple files from DropBox is pretty easy. In fact if they are arranged inside of a folder you can download the whole folder pretty easily from the DropBox website as a zip file.
To Download a folder:
Just click on the white-space to the right of the folder name to highlight the folder. Then along the top you'll see the 'Download" option. The website will compress all of the files in that folder into a zip file and let you download it.
To Download multiple files:
You can do the same thing for files. Just click to the right of their names and hold "Ctrl" to select them individually if you only want a select few images. Then click the download link and again it will compress the files into a zip file for you to download.

Re: Dropbox
I have tried downloading the folder and multiples, and as you say they do download but they will not open in PSB. Whereas downloading them individually they can be opened in PSB. This seems very strange. Any thoughts?
Re: Dropbox
Just realised that Winzip wasn't loaded on my computer. It all works fine now. Thanks for your help.
