An instructor can bulk download to the zip file, open the files on their computer and add markup or text feedback to the file, re-save it - but they need to keep the numbers at the front of the filename - and then bulk upload them to the dropbox. Let me know if you have questions about this.
Step-by-step guide
Select Submit from the course navbar.
Select Dropbox.
Select the name of the dropbox that contains the submission you want to provide feedback for.
Select the dropbox submissions you wish to bulk publish feedback for by selecting the checkbox on the left of the table header of the submissions area on the Folder Submissions page.
Select the Download option. A .zip file will be created, click Download.
Open the .zip file on your device. You can add markup and/or provide feedback to the file and re-save it. When saving the document you must keep the numbers at the front of the filename.
You can repeat step 6 for the remaining submissions in the .zip file.
When ready, return to the dropbox and click Add Feedback Files button.
Upload the .zip file in the same format that it was downloaded in and click Add.
The feedback files should now be attached to the corresponding submissions.

In order to control when feedback is released to students, especially in situations where there are multiple markers, it is possible to save the feedback in draft format and make the feedback and marks available all at once. Make sure to use the Save Draft option when providing feedback. This will prevent feedback from transferring to the gradebook (if you have an associated grade item in the gradebook) and will hide any feedback from the students.
