Add Watermark: How To Process Multiple Images From Dropbox

When you are storing your images in Dropbox cloud, you may be wondering, how to watermark more than one image using batch mode. Because currently in Dropbox you can select only one single file to send it to another app.

Please find below a workaround. To say it short, you need first to download images to device.

1. Start Dropbox and mark needed images, then save them to device (use three point menu > save to device):

2. When they are saved (you can see the status on icons), open Add Watermark, select source (+) > process multiple images

3. Navigate to the Dropbox folder – it looks similar to
/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.and.android/files/XXXXXXX/scratch…,

select all images, then process them.

I don’t recommend to process more than 100 images at once, as it can take very long time (few minutes).

Can’t load images after update to Android 4.4 KitKat

But you just need to change the view “Recent” to “Gallery” once pressing the top bar (on “Recent”) and it will work again!
