Step-by-step instructions on how to download from the Dropbox resource.

These are instructions for iOS (Apple) devices as of Nov 2017 because the majority of Stylists use iPhones or iPads to download images. Models and iOS system upgrades may vary.

If you have an Android device, you should be able to tap on the file/image/video and easily download from the prompts on your phone. Please refer to your device’s owner’s manual or carrier’s support team for further information.

Download Instructions

Instructions can also be used for both images and video.
