Hello, I'm trying out LR and can't seem to find any way to access pictures other than on the Photos app. I've looked all over the LR app and can't find the option to open files from any other source. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Hi keloide,

 

Here are the steps I recommend. Please let me know if you need additional detail. 

1. Tap the three dots next to the album where you'd like to import, and choose "Add Photos>" then "From Files."

2. In the window that pops up, look at the bottom and tap the "Browse" folder icon. 
3. A slide-over panel should come in from the left, with locations listed. You will see the file locations that you've registered with the iOS Files App..

4. If you don't see Dropbox listed, or if it's greyed out, open the Files App and set up your access there.
