Your photos will always save to your Simple Booth account by default. Dropbox is an optional additional saving method available in the HALO app.

📍 Dropbox is especially useful if you want to reprint layouts, since it preserves your formatting settings in special “formatted sheet” files.

⚠️ Dropbox integration is available on the Core tier and higher.

Integrating Dropbox

You can enable Dropbox saving options both in the HALO app and from your online preset settings.

📍 You must connect your Dropbox account through the HALO app to activate the integration.

  1. Open the HALO app.

  2. Go to your preset’s Save Options panel.

  3. Tap Sign in to Dropbox at the top of the screen and approve the connection.

💡 You only need to connect your Dropbox account once per device.

Save Options

When Dropbox is connected, you'll see several types of files you can save:

  • Finished Layouts: A copy of the final layout shown in your gallery.

  • Individual Images: The original photos used to make each layout.

  • 4x6 Formatted Sheets: A print-ready version formatted for 4x6" paper. Use this for reprints.

  • 5x7 Formatted Sheets: A print-ready version formatted for 5x7" paper. Use this for reprints.

⚠️ Formatted sheets are the only way to reprint a layout using your printer settings. Enable this if you plan to print during or after the event from outside the app.

Dropbox Folders

Photos are saved to your Dropbox account under:

Apps / Simple Booth / [Preset Name] / [Media Type]

📍 A folder is created for each preset after it uploads its first file to Dropbox.

⚠️ Avoid renaming or deleting these folders—doing so can break the Dropbox connection and stop files from saving.

Folder Types

Each preset will have subfolders based on what media types you enable:

  • Layouts: The final layout image (.jpg)

  • GIFs: The final animated .gif

  • GIF Videos: A looping .mov file (only if GIFs and Finished Layouts are enabled)

  • Individuals: Original unbranded, high-res images

  • Individuals (Branded): Branded frames from your GIF layout

  • 4x6: Formatted layout for 4x6" prints

  • 5x7: Formatted layout for 5x7" prints

File Names

Each file is automatically named using a format like this:

Apps / Simple Booth / [Preset Name] / [Media Type] / [Device ID]-[Image Number].[Extension]

Example:

Apps / Simple Booth / My Preset / GIFs / ABCDE-00001.gif
