Starting on August 22, 2016, the Dropbox desktop app will end support for the iPhoto importer feature. After this date, you can't use the iPhoto importer to upload photos.

Apple discontinued iPhoto in 2015 and replaced it with Photos. We’re ending support for the iPhoto importer to keep our offerings aligned with Apple.

Accessing your photos

All photos you previously imported from iPhoto are safe in your Dropbox. Follow these instructions to view your photos:

1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
2. Click Photos to see a view of all the photos in your Dropbox (including your iPhoto imports).
3. Alternatively, you can locate the Photos from iPhoto folder in the top-level list of all your folders and files.

Other methods for uploading photos

There are many other ways to add photos to your Dropbox, including:

• Manually through the desktop app
• Manually from your phone
• Automatically from your phone
