Delete or add a picture folder

• After installing our app, these sources are ready to use:

  - Your local photo gallery (e.g. "Camera Roll" for Apple users)
  - Facebook
  - Instagram
  - Google Photos
  - Dropbox

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect other sources to our app.

All folders in the Windows File Explorer are automatically connected to our creator tool.
When you add an external device to your computer while the Photobox creator tool is running, you can simply refresh the photo view. You can do this in our creator tool by navigating to "Photos" (left-hand column).

• It is not possible to delete a folder from this view.

In our offline creator tool for Mac you can easily add or remove a photo folder.

Switching between photo libraries

• Unable to add a photo folder?

  The first and most easy solution can be a restart of the Mac.

  If the system asks for a password to access the keychain right after restarting, then the keychain is corrupted. We recommend to contact your local Apple Support to do this for you. It’s not easy to do, and it might interact badly with various other scenarios, most notably iCloud Keychain.
  Alternatively, you can always drag the photos from the external photo folder to the desired place in the photo book.
