Save Location Dropbox


Recommended Posts

It would be great if you could set the default save location to Dropbox, along with iPad and iCloud. I don't want to subscribe to iCloud for more storage and I'd like to take advantage of my Dropbox space. I do this already, of course, but it would be nice to have it as default in settings.

I suspect Affinity Photo passes the location selection to the iOS 11 Files app, so I am not sure that can be changed.

 

The good news is that you can already add Dropbox to the list of default locations in Files. See https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-add-dropbox-to-files-app-in-ios-11-on-iphone-ipad/ (you can even turn off iCloud from appearing).

If you store your afphoto files on Dropbox and access them via Open from Cloud, the changes made will be saved back to Dropbox when you save the file (3 bars in proj/welcome screen). You can use Save a Copy in work screen to get the .afphoto file into Dropbox.

I am going to bump this one too but would like to open it up a bit more. I have a Synology NAS and use their Drive app and would like to export to it. I am trying to just go all iPad and not use a laptop anymore. Having the ability to have more options to save / export to from an iPad would complete my workflow.
