Is it possible to put all photos on dropbox and use lightroom?

I am trying to make it easy (i know, haha) to sync my photos on my two macs, one iPhone, and one android. I have lightroom mobile and the photography suite so got those boxes checked. I also have 1tb of dropbox space which can easily fit all my photos.
My question: Can I just put my entire photos folder (used by lightroom) in my dropbox folder that is on my drive, along with my lightroom catalog. Is there a problem with this technique? Then I would have them on both of my computers in their physical dropbox folder, along with online. Eventually android will have lightroom mobile too which will help that issue when it comes.
Will this work? If it will, I can finally get rid of my iPhoto catalog...

Hi bbbowers,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
You can try following documents. These might be helpfull.

    to copy photos from your iPhone to your computer you can either use photo stream via icloud and the icloud control panel for windows see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html  OR plug your phone in and open up  your "my computer" and navigate to your iPhone it should provide you with a way to view the photos just like any digital camera.

  • Is it possible to put a photo overlay on top of a QuickTime movie?

    Is it possible to put a photo overlay on top of a QuickTime movie?
    Here's what I want to happen...... Once the QT arrow controller is clicked, then the overlay photo would disappear and the QT movie would play.
    I tried to put the QT movie file in a table then place a photo as the background image, but it didn't work.
    Anyone know how this can be done?

    Easy using QuickTime Pro.
    Size the image file to the dimensions of your QuickTime file.
    Open the image with QuickTime Pro.
    Select all (Command-a) and Copy (Command-c).
    Switch to your QuickTime .mov file. Place the controller at the first frame.
    Paste (Command-v) and Save As (self contained).
    To give your still image file a bit of "time" add it (scaled) to a few seconds of audio and then "extract" the new video track.

  • Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive? How do I do it?

    I have too many photos to store in my MacBook. Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive and still use iPhoto (or Aperture) to view them all?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining).  I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices.  Data storage is still same.

    I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each).  I do not store tunes or videos.  After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size.  Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen.  If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
    Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right?  Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device.  It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system.  So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups.  With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
    Can I expedite this?  Well of course you can.  If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now.  Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
    I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

  • Apple iPhone 5c on EE brand new unopened no sim put in to it yet... if I buy it can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as normal?

    Hi all,
    Im thinking of buying a friends iPhone 5C contract upgrade as he doesn't want it now...
    It's on EE but still sealed un-opened etc
    Can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as i heard some phones are sim free until the first sim goes in to it?
    Can i hear your input please.
    Much appreciated,
    Jo

    If locked to EE, you will have to get your friend to request that EE unlock it before it can be used on any other network. So, don't purchase until you have verified that your friend has gotten the phone officially unlocked.

    Can I dnld my photos onto ATV and use then as a screen saver?

    Sync photos to the Apple TV through iTunes normally; one of those will be chosen randomly for the screensaver by the Apple TV. If less than 25 are synced, a default picture may appear.

  • Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

    Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite.   I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc.  I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking.  I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them.  I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated.  I use them with TM for backup.  Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?  I am confused about backup not preserving my photos.  Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access.  Thanks a bunch!

    connie,
    I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
    if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives.  One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos,  and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.
    Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?
    You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
    Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) .  See this link:  iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

  • I have 4 different folders in Photos, each from a different iphone I have had. How do I put all photos in 1 folder?

    Can anyone help?
    I just want 1 folder of photos, not 4.
    Thnaks in advance.

    All photos that you want transferred from your computer can be placed in a single folder on your computer. Select the single folder on your computer to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer followed by a sync.

  • How to get ALL photos off iPhone and into iMac?

    I hope I can describe this clearly.
    I have close to 1000 photos on my iPhone 5s, all in different albums.  I want to get ALL of them off the iPhone and backed up into my iMac so I don't lose them when I upgrade (which has happened before.) The albums I seem to have the biggest problem with are the ones that came over when I went from a PC to a Mac about 2 years ago and were in albums in my Kodak Easy Share.  I can't get iPhoto to recognize these photos/albums so I can move them from the iPhone. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I got them from where they originated into my iPhone. I'd thought I'd lost them so when they popped up on my iPhone I refused to even update my phone for a while, I was so afraid to lose them.
    I tried using Image Capture and it only recognized 176 photos on the iPhone.
    I went into settings on my iPhone, into camera and photos, and saw that iCloud Photo Library (Beta) was "OFF." I clicked "ON" and got the message "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when include Photo Library is turned on.  833 photos will be removed."
    I hit cancel.
    If I connect my iPhone to my Mac, and check off "Sync Photos" it appears that it's going to put photo's in iPhoto on my computer on my phone, so that isn't what I want either.  I've tried Googling this, and searching on the Apple site and I can't find anything like this. Similar but not quite the same.
    I also read (I think) that the iCloud would delete my photos in 30 days so I'm not sure what the value of backing them up to the iCloud is.
    I've used Finder to search Kodak, Easy Share, Kodak Easy Share, in case these photos are somewhere else on the iMac that I'm not aware of, most likely due to user ignorance.
    My screen is cracked, I'm going to need to upgrade soon, and I don't want to lose valuable photos again. 
    Thank you!

    Thank you to all for this info. Discouraging, but finally I can stop banging my head on the desk trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I do believe that when I synced my iPhone at some point in the last 2 years, I pulled all the photos OUT of iPhoto and then it deleted them.  Which is most likely why the older Kodak photos that I am almost 100% certain were in iPhoto are now gone. How/when they ended up on my iPhone I don't know because I swear they suddenly appeared there a few weeks ago.
    Since the old PC is gone (accessible but wiped clean & restored to original factory settings) and Easy Share is no more, I will have to explore outside options to get those photos off the iPhone somewhere.  Online photo storage sites have been suggested.  Archaic as it is, I wish I'd just put them all on cd's.
    Using the info provided, I did SUCCESSFULLY get all 237 photos off of my iPhone 3.  (yes, I still have it.)  Now I know better and will never ever sync my photo's in iTunes again.
    Thank you all again!!
    ***Addendum: ALL answers helped, but apparently I can't indicate that.
