## Back up photos automatically

Whether they’re memories from family vacations or digital assets for work projects, your online photos are some of your most important files. Backing up full-resolution copies to [cloud storage](/content/features/cloud-storage/index.html) can give you peace of mind. Dropbox can keep your photos safe in several ways:

- Camera uploads — Photos from your phone or tablet will be [automatically backed up](/content/dl/camera-uploads/mobile?mobile_app_fallback/index.html) to Dropbox. Or in our desktop app, photos will be copied from cameras, memory cards, or mobile devices whenever you connect one to your computer.
- Screenshot backups — Set up our desktop app to automatically move screenshot images to your Dropbox account, or back up mobile device screenshots using camera uploads.
- Document scanning — The Dropbox mobile app lets you use your phone’s camera to scan and [make digital backups](/content/features/productivity/document-scanner/index.html) of receipts, whiteboards, and paper documents.

[Try the Dropbox mobile app](/content/mobile/index.html)

## Organize and browse photos

Dropbox makes it easy to get to your image and video files once they’re backed up.

- Windows and Mac sync — In the [Dropbox desktop app](/content/install/index.html), you’ll find all your photos in folders you can access from Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder. Organize them into subfolders or edit them in your favorite software, just like any other file. Your changes will update on [other devices connected to your Dropbox account](/content/features/sync/transfer-photos/index.html).
- Photo browsing — View and browse all of your photos and videos from the Photos tab in our [mobile app](/content/mobile/index.html) or on [the web](/content/photos/index.html).
- Image previews — View over 35 image file types from dropbox.com or our mobile app. Preview common files like JPEG, PNG, and GIF; app-specific types like Photoshop and Illustrator; high quality raw formats like CR2, DCR, and DNG; and even iOS HEIC photos. Best of all, there’s no need for special photo software.
- Image tagging — Add searchable hashtags to individual photos or an entire folder to find files fast.

[Organize files and folders](/content/features/share/organize-files-folders/index.html)

## Share and distribute photos

Sending your favorite photos to family members? Transferring image assets to clients or customers? Dropbox makes file sharing simple and secure.

- Shared links — Easily create a link to share any file or folder in your Dropbox. Copy and paste links into emails, text messages, or chats to share photos with anyone—even if they don’t have a Dropbox account.
- Access control — Keep your photos in the right hands. Add [password protection](/content/features/share/password-protection/index.html), expiration dates, and sign-in requirements to your shared links for secure, easy access.
- Shared folders  — Want to collect your photos and someone else’s in the same place? [Share files](/content/features/share/index.html) by inviting others to sync a folder between your account and theirs.

[Share links securely](/content/features/share/link-sharing/index.html)

## Get space to store photos

No matter how many images you need to keep safe in the cloud, Dropbox can help you store them all.

- Storage options — Start with 2 GB of free storage. When you need more, paid plans offer 2 or 3 TB for your photos, videos and other files. Subscriptions for teams start with 5 TB or more.
- Save hard drive space — Mark photo and video files and folders you don’t need straight away as online-only. They’ll still show up in Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder, but will only take up a small amount of space until you need them.
