The Dropbox app can be used to directly take photos. It is recommended you review your smartphone's camera settings to check the resolution and size of images, particularly if you plan to use these online.

To take a photo using the Dropbox app:

  1. On your smartphone, open the Dropbox app.
  2. Tap the Edge folder.
