I occasionally want to save an image from the web to my Dropbox app. Right now I have to save the image into a folder and then put the image into Dropbox. Is there a way to "right click" on an image and save it right to Dropbox?
You can certainly create a way to do it using Automator to create a Service workflow that you can access in the "right click" contextual menu at the bottom.
First, open up Automator. The type of document you will select from the popup will be
Service.
Up top, where it says "Service receives selected...", change that so it reads:
Service receives selected files or folders in any application.
If you only want to send files, rather than entire folders, you can adjust that. Also, if you only want to do this from Finder (rather than any app), you can adjust that also.
On the left, in the
Actions library, go to
Files & Folders, then add:
Copy Finder Items to the workflow on the right. From there, change the folder to your preference.
Once done, save the workflow with a name that makes sense to you. You should now be able to copy any file or folder directly to Dropbox!
