ADOBE BRIDGE & DROPBOX

I have 1 TB worth of pictures on Dropbox which are not synced to my various computers because of the amount of space required.  Is there a way for Bridge or Photoshop to connect to the web files to view and/or edit them, without downloading them each time?

    Correct answer Per Berntsen

    You would have to download the files to be able to view or edit them in Bridge and Photoshop.

    A possible workaround could be to set up Dropbox to only sync certain folders.

    Came here looking for the same answer... I see Lightroom connects with Google Photos but I wish it connected to Dropbox as well 😞

    Thanks Per...that's what I assumed but thought it was worth asking in case I was missing something.  Adobe & Dropbox ought to work together to make this happen

    Creative Cloud File Sharing works very similar to Dropbox (though not as good yet). I don't think Adobe will be working with Dropbox to make the integration better, but hopefully they will continue to develop the CC File Sharing and maybe someday it will do what you are asking for.
