Hi! I need to force the Android app to re-upload all the photos in my gallery. I set it up so it uploads everything, not just new photos, but it will only upload new items. I believe it recognizes older pics as "already uploaded" and I don't know how to reset this. I have already: -re-installed the app -deleted the cache memory -deleted all files in the Dropbox camera upload folder -restarted the device -even tried from a new device with a different SD card but with the same files in it Still, Dropbox will only upload new files. I also tried manually uploading but due to the fíes being cover 1500, the app never stops processing the files and never uploads anything. I'm on Android 12 and no other apps are set toSolved7.3KViews1like96CommentsI added my files to Dropbox via camera uploads and it deleted them from my camera roll.
It's been a while, but I don't know where to ask, so I'm writing it down ㅜ I'm inquiring again after giving up because there was no answer even if I asked the customer center on the drop box website. I think it was around the end of last year.. I was told to upload the camera while using the drop box, so I synchronized it and saw the size of the drop box getting bigger I deleted the camera upload file inside the drop box, but the photo and video file were deleted on my smartphone (iPhone)ㅜ This did not happen immediately, but I deleted the camera upload file in the drop box first About a month? Afterwards, the system update was going on on my smartphone (I wasn't updating it about 2 times) I was looking at the photos and videos and they were disappearing one by one in front of my eyes ㅜ I couldn't stop it... There was no file even if it went into the deleted file ㅜㅜ I tried to upgrade the dropbox pricing plan, but the camera upload file did not appear in the recovery list. ㅜ Is there any way...? Please help me ㅜ There are many precious files and pictures26Views0likes1CommentMy camera uploads stopped uploading new files on my iPhone.
Until May 18, all the photos I take with my iPhone (iOS 18.1.1) were automatically sync'd into my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder. Since then, the new images are not going into the folder. My phone is fully charged, on strong wifi, and I haven't changed any settings. How do I get it to continue uploading photos to the Camera Uploads Dropbox folder?76Views0likes3CommentsSelect a date range for Camera Uploads to upload
That Camera Uploads folder gets pretty big! I move photos off into subfolders by year. But every time I connect my iPhone, Camera Uploads wants to upload all the photos it can find. My request is the ability to set up the Camera Uploads feature to limit the uploads to recent photos. User input would be an "on or after date." I'd set mine to January 1 of the current year, for example. Out in the real word, one reason for this request is that it's incredibly difficult to do mass photo deletions in iOS. It takes awhile for me to clean the photos off my phone. Also, there are some old photos I just like to keep there.29Views0likes3CommentsWhy is the camera upload feature on iOS slow in backing up the photos to my account?
Hi!!! I have just installed the app and opened an account (yesterday) to create storage for my phone photos so I can make room on my phone. I have automatic uploads switched on and there are over 13,000 photos and videos on my phone. I am curious how long it should take for the process to complete transfer from phone to app? The “backing up” action happened non stop for two hours yesterday morning and when I opened the app again this morning, it is showing as still underway - “backing up…….. 10894” - the number goes up and down. I’m trying to figure out how it works and when it will be safe for me to remove the photos from my phone so I can make space to update iOS etc. I have done some random “audits” and found a number of photos from, for example, July 2023, which haven’t transferred over to the app. Appreciate any advice, thanks!!34Views0likes4CommentsWhat is the Camera Uploads folder? Can I delete it?
A new folder "Camera Uploads" has recently appeared in my online acct but I don't know EXACTLY what I did wrong to create it. I did import pix on to the local HD using Picasa photo editor but must have specified somewhere to also upload to DropBox. Since it is more than 1GB this existing fldr must be removed and any new fldrs must be DELIBERATELY created to avoid a repetition. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanx.

I can see lots of posts asking for support for Live Photos. I feel quite cheated that I have lost the ability to see these photos. As someone else has also posted, I have little snippets of my mother’s voice and movement that I have lost forever and she has passed away. Dropbox offer a photo sync service which means they need to solve for Live Photos, they have been around since 2015 so it’s not a new function. Please prioritise a solution to upload and then restore Live Photos.Solved875Views2likes6CommentsScreenshots not being saved to my account even though I enabled the feature on the desktop app
I set all the switches for Dropbox on windows to save screenshots, but nothing is being saved in the screenshot folder ---- as it turns out it seems that OneDrive is getting the images --- how to I correct this so Dropbox get the images?Solved54Views0likes6CommentsI deleted a photo from my phone and it got deleted from Dropbox
I deleted a photo from my phone while I was out. When I got home there was a dropbox notification that the photo had been deleted from Camera Uploads. Earlier support says this shouldn't happen. How do I disable this feature?30Views0likes1Comment
