Windows 10: How to access Dropbox in the photos app

I've just got a new Windows 11 laptop. Previously I had Windows Photo Gallery where I could access Dropbox from the left hand side. Now I have the Photos app which seems to me to be a huge step back. Please can someone tell me how I now view Dropbox other than separately opening Dropbox and opening them one by one into Photos? I would also really like to know how to change the print options, I used to be able to print in any number of sizes, multiples to one page etc, now there are only 6 size options!

Windows 10 Photos App not seeing photos in Dropbox Folder

Fix:

• Open Dropbox folder
• Find the Photos folder inside the Dropbox folder.
• Right-click the Photos folder, point to "Include in Library", and click "Pictures" in the list

Done. Now the Photos app will include this folder in the set of photos it uses.

 

WD Redefines Personal Cloud With Dropbox Integration

WD, a world leader in external storage and connected home solutions, today introduced powerful new collaboration and file management features, including Dropbox integration, in the next generation of its popular WD 2go mobile app for their personal cloud products, the My Book Live, My Book Live Duo and My Net N900 Central HD router with storage.

WD's personal cloud products provide shared storage on the home network, letting customers centralize their important documents, photos, videos and music in one place as well as automatically backup all the computers in their home. With the WD 2go app customers can access and share that content from outside the home on their mobile devices.





The new version of WD 2go lets customers move, copy and share content between their mobile device, their Dropbox and their WD personal cloud – combining the benefits of personal and public cloud storage into one, easy-to-use app. For example, if a user has a small number of photos they want to share with their friends, they can copy them from their personal cloud into their Dropbox using the WD 2go app. But if they have a very large number of photos, or files that are too big for their Dropbox, they can use WD 2go to send a secure link to the files via email. WD 2go is available for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Android compatible mobile devices.

"WD is committed to providing consumers with secure storage of digital content and access to it on any screen, on-the-go or at home," said Jim Welsh, executive vice president for WD's branded products and consumer electronics groups. "By combining access to Dropbox and personal cloud storage into a single intuitive mobile app, WD is empowering consumers with the flexibility and control of anytime, any-device management of their growing libraries of digital content."

WD 2go Features

• Dropbox integration: Full access to your Dropbox and use of all WD 2go file management features with your Dropbox.
• Upload: Upload files from your mobile device to your WD personal cloud storage.
• Download: Download files to your smartphone or tablet for offline access.
• Sharing: Share files from your personal cloud storage as email links or attachments.
• File management: Copy, move, rename and delete files on your personal cloud storage and in your Dropbox.
• Third-party apps: Send files to and receive files from third party apps installed on your mobile device using the "open with" function.
• Auto-discover: Automatically discover and connect to WD personal cloud storage devices on the same Wi-Fi network as your smartphone or tablet.

Price and Availability
WD 2go (free download) is currently available for download from the iTunes™ App Store, Google Play and Amazon Appstore for Android. My Book Live personal cloud storage drives and the My Net N900 Central router with storage are available at select U.S. retailers and online.
