    I have gone through all of the steps to set up the Dropbox but the button does not show up when I try to add media from a gallery, post, page, module etc.

    I can provide screenshots if needed, I just need some help, cause I am stuck.

    Ok so I was able to get the button to show up by not selecting “Only allow insert URL to remote files”. However, that IS what I want to do. I want to link to the files, not upload them to my media library. When I activate and click the “Insert from URL” button nothing happens.

    Is this the right plugin for this? Basically trying to not have to upload every image I want to add to a gallery to my library so it doesn’t slow down my site. I a a photographer and so I am going to be uploading a TON of images.

    I could try Google Drive too, but I would rather use Dropbox.

    @robinbird1435 unfortunately this plugin ONLY imports files into your WP library. Ability to store files outside of WP site is still in progress.

    FYI, Dropbox and Google Drive won’t let you directly serve the files from their servers. They have it in their policies and I recall I responded to several support tickets several months back.

    Thanks,
