How to save your Autodesk SketchBook Pro work in Dropbox

Storage space never seems enough for content creators who are constantly looking for options to share and keep their drafts, sketches, ideas, and final creations.

On this note, Dropbox is one of the best known cloud-based storage space apps. Flexible in terms of syncing accounts and accessing options from a variety of devices, Dropbox is also compatible with a multitude of file types.

Therefore, if you’re using a SketchBook Pro and you are fully enjoying the drawing experience, it’s highly recommended that you save and back-up your work.

SketchBook Pro and Dropbox supported formats

Both SketchBook Pro and Dropbox support TIFF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and PSD formats. Pay attention to the format you choose, as the image quality can be altered.

Consequently, to save your work fully-layered, we recommend saving your files as TIFF or PSD.

To further save them in Dropbox, check out the following steps, depending on your main operating system.
