Automatically move files from "camera uploads" to other folders
Hello everyone,
I have 4 people in my family that constantly take pictures. I have an iCloud + account so that I can make backups of all our iPhones and iPads. Problem is that it is out of storage space and I don't want to pay for another subscription. Now I know that I am able to use the "Camera Upload" feature. However, all pictures from each device ends up in the folder "Camera Upload". I read that I have to physically go in the the Camera Upload folder and sort out each photo and transfer them to a folder that I create. Is there anyway to or trick to move the files automatically when they are being transfered from the iPhone to DropBox?

Welcome to the Community, Dante1_66!
Unfortunately, as you also mentioned, it’s not possible to do this automatically; since all photos/videos will be uploaded in bulk within the “camera uploads” folder, you’ll need to manually transfer them to another folder/organize them after that.
If you need something else though, I'll be happy to help.
How about using an automation that moves files from Camera Uploads to specific folders I set in the automation?
- Is that even possible? If so, where do i find automation?
- Thanks
