I can't see my photos and videos on my new phone

I just got a new phone. Shows this phone is linked to my Dropbox, but all the photos and videos that were saved to Dropbox in old phone are not here. How do I get everything I previously saved?

Yes. Everything was in my Dropbox. I made sure it was all there before I deleted out of the old phone. I did that prolly a month ago and it was all there and got new phone 2 days ago and now it’s all gone except the last couple weeks.

Originally I uploaded manually when I first downloaded Dropbox. After the initial import, they are importing as soon as they are taken or saved to the phone.
