Kentski,
I am trying the same. But LR just hangs when using the auto import from my 'dropbox/ToLr' folder on my MAC. Haven't figured out why as yet. Not trying the iPhoto option as I do not wish the same photo in two locations on the same hard drive. I have B/U drives for that. Still 'playing around' with different options for now.

Please, please (for emphasis) know that LR does not move your photos anywhere! It is a database (basically). When you "import" photos into LR, you're only telling it where those photos reside. You do NOT have to move them. That being said, just for organizational purposes and future sanity, it's really better to designate one location (a master folder) for ALL of your photos (in sub folders). The best way is to move them yourself, then import hem into LR. Otherwise, if they are already imported (recognized) into LR, then move them into another location within the function available in the LR Library module. If you move them outside of LR, LR will "lose" them and you'll have to teach LR their new location.
