Using Dropbox

Working With Dropbox

First: DO NOT right-click on each image and save to your computer.

Here’s how to get your pictures from Dropbox.  If you are having issues, please read this whole page and follow the instructions.  Dropbox is not difficult, but it is evidently confusing to some people.

  • – You do not need to download or install Dropbox on your system.
    – You do not need to have anything except a web browser and the e-mail I sent you.
    – DO NOT right-click on each image and choose “Save Image…” !

In the e-mail I sent you, there’s a link.  It’ll look something like this.

Click the link to open my Dropbox page in a browser, just like you open any other web-page.

It should look something like this with two or more folders, which are the different sizes of images you can download, floor plan, video — whatever you’re getting with your order.  If you hover over to the right of the folder, there will be two buttons, one of which is Download.

 

Click the Download button for whichever item you want to download.

You will then be presented with a popup that really wants you to login or become a customer.  You don’t have to do this.  At the bottom is a link “Or continue with download only.”  Click that and it will create a zip file of the folder you selected which you can then save to your computer.

Where you saved it and how to get things out of a zip file are, unfortunately, up to you and your operating system.
