I will say that Dropbox seems to haveвЂ¦dropped the boxвЂ¦on dealing intelligently with photos across all platforms. YouвЂ™d have thought Photos would work the same way but no, when you bring photos in from a plugged in camera or via iCloud from an iPhone or iPad, the photos are hidden in a database called the Photo Library. I find this an interesting way to work, since the iTunes app on the Mac copies each individual song into the iTunes Library in your Music folder. With the Photos app in Mac, importing Photos brings them into a database, as opposed to copying individual photo files into your Pictures folder. So they make it easy to use in an all-Apple world, but if you want to mix things up with other companyвЂ™s products, your experience usually suffers. When I try to drag an album of photos from the Photos app to my Dropbox, nothing happens.ДЄpple of course, wants you to use nothing but Apple products.

I want to put some photos into Dropbox to share with others, but I canвЂ™t figure out how to do that from the Photos app.

When I do the same on the Mac, I donвЂ™t see the photos in the Finder window under Pictures, I can only see them in the Photos app. On the PC when I plugged in my camera, all my photos got put into My Pictures. Hi Chris, I recently switched from Windows to a Mac.
