How to Copy (and paste) multiple Dropbox files in one go

Dropbox – one of the most popular cloud-storage services – has now made it easier to delete, copy or move multiple files at one go. Open Dropbox, then open the folder whose files you want to action (delete, copy or move).

On Android, tap and hold the first file until you see tick boxes beside all the others. Now tick all the files you want to action, then tap the icon with three dots at the top right to see the new menu. 

On iOS, navigate to the folder you want, tap the icon wit three dots at the top right, then tap Select. Now tap the boxes beside the files you want to action. You’ll see the Delete,Copy and Move options below.

To delete all the files from your Dropbox account, tap Delete, then Delete again to confirm. Tap Move if that’s what you want to do. You’ll now see a blue Move button at the bottom. Navigate to the folder you want to move these files to, then tap the button to do that. Similarly, tapping Copy adds a Paste button at the bottom, which you can use to execute that action after selecting the destination folder.
