    Hey Ethan11, 

     

    Welcome on the Dropbox Community!

     

    You may keep in mind that, should you use the Camera Uploads functionality to upload your videos, the originals remain on your phone gallery intact, so you'll have to manually remove your videos locally from your phone to free up some space. 

     

    I hope this helps you clarify the matter! If you need additional details or assistance, please keep me updated in your reply, I'd be glad to follow-up! 

     

    Warm regards, 
    Jane

Hi there, 

Could you tell me what does not work, what steps you are following and where you get unexpected behavior from the app? 

If you would like a member of the support team to have a closer look at this, you can get in touch here:

    Why can't you guys just add a feature to delete all photos that were just uploaded? It's really not that hard...
