Dropbox Photos presents a clear, easy to navigate timeline of all the images that you


currently store in your Dropbox cloud. It may lack some of the more advanced features that


Google offers but it’s still worth using if you have numerous images to browse through.


Whatever it lacks in complexity, Dropbox Photos makes up for with its simplistic interface and ease of use. As a basic
service, it works really well.

How to Use Dropbox Photos


You can find the Photos link to the Dropbox
UI sidebar, just under Recents. When clicked,
it takes you to the main Photos page and
providing you have content, images obviously, in your Dropbox
store the Photos page will be populated.


    STEP    

Moving the mouse pointer over to the far right
of the screen will bring up the dates within the
Photos timeline. You can click any of the dates
and the timeline will automatically jump to the date that the
image or photo was created, not when it was uploaded.


    STEP    

Individual  photos  can be  clicked to  expand
them into a full-screen view. This view will
display the time and date the photo was
created; you can also move the mouse pointer over the top
right of the photo and ‘tick’ it to add it to the process bar
located along the top of the screen.

    STEP    

You can click   the arrows  either  side    of  the photo
to cycle through the next or previous and tick
any you want to add to the process bar in the
same fashion as the original image. You can skip through the
currently selected photos via the process bar too.
