  Thank you for your prompt reply. I am new to WordPress and have read through all the help links. I am still doing something wrong. I go to “Media”, then “upload new file”. I am only able to see photo files that are on my computer. No link to Dropbox.

  What is the file format are your images saved as (.jpg, .png etc.)?
  I think you ought to be able to drag and drop the image URLs using the manual multi-file uploader.

  You can drag and drop an image file from your Dropbox folder (as visible on your computer’s desktop) right into the media library or into a post or page, just as if the image was on your hard drive. If you’re having trouble doing that, please let me know what kind of issue or error message you receive.
