Hey Excalibur59​, let's jump right into this! 

To recap, I understand that you wish to save your Dropbox "camera uploads" content back to your device. Also, it sounds like you're following these steps. 

Here's my suggestion: Instead of trying to save the entire folder, can you try accessing your camera uploads on the Dropbox mobile app, and selecting some files to save locally on your device?

I'm on an iPhone, and I don't have the option to save the camera uploads folder as a whole, but I can save the content locally if I select the files in it. 

Looking forward to your reply!
