Dropbox for Lightroom

Dropbox for Lightroom is a comprehensive and reliable plugin created to assist professional photographers in exporting their finished work from the picture editor to their cloud storage account, enabling them to share them with clients, by sending them the corresponding link.

The utility supports all versions of Adobe Lightroom, from 2 and higher, including the latest release of the editor. However, publishing operations can only be achieved with versions upwards of 3.

Subsequent to the fairly regular installation process of Dropbox for Lightroom, users can access it from the ‘Export One File’ component. There, they can choose the destination for their files from a drop-down menu.

To login to their Dropbox account, users will need to input their credentials, and then authorize the plugin to access and upload files to the storage service; without the successful completion of this step, users will not be able to export their photos from Lightroom.

Afterward, whenever users need to upload files to the cloud, they can just indicate the type of media and the target album, from dedicated drop-down menus. Optionally, they can create a new album with just one button press.

Other configurable options refer to overwriting settings. Once everything is in place, users can press the ‘Export’ button and watch the files be uploaded to their Dropbox account, without other intervention from them.

Since Adobe Lightroom is mainly used by professional photographers, chances are their work is commissioned and needs to be delivered as soon as possible. With the help of this lightweight plugin, their work can get from the image editor to the client in a fraction of the time while also saving disk space on the computer.
