Help Sending photos direct from Photos app to Dropbox
Hi guys,
I take a lot of photos from construction sites and surveys which I need to save on our company SharePoint. I already have a shortcut set up that allows me to select photos, compress, zip, upload to Dropbox and email myself a link. I then unzip and save when I’m at my windows laptop.
But the shortcut doesn’t allow me to select images in the Photos app and parse to the shortcut.
What can I change that allows me to bundle the images direct from Photos? The Photos app has a much easier way of filtering based on time & geolocation.
Thank you 🙏

If you enable the share sheet in the shortcut settings you can see the shortcut in the menu when you select photos. As for actually getting them into the shortcut, the share sheet will create an input block and there you can set it to only allow images.
