I've got a lot of pictures on my Android phone I'd like to upload to my Dropbox, but the upload button doesn't appear. When I created a new file it told me to drag and drop but that's not possible. How can I do this?

 Hi Merrill,

Thank you for waiting!

If you open a photo, you would see an icon for Sharing like this

Clicking that button should give you an option for sharing it to drop box.

Can you check and let me know?

I think, let me make sure.  I know I can open it on my phone but I may not have installed it on this new one.

Ok For the dropbox option to show up, That phone should have the dropbox app installed in it.

Let me know.

I just checked my apps.  I don't have Dropbox on my phone.  That would probably help! Lol

 Yep, Once you have dropbox installed the share button should have dropbox as an app.

Go ahead and install it and let me know if it worked.

I'll wait for your response.
