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!
Natalie R., unless I'm misreading your question, the answer is as simple as copying all the files in your Camera Uploads folder to a connected external drive on your computer (Mac or Windows). In other words, all those files in the Camera Uploads folder are already (or should be) automatically synced with the \Documents\My Dropbox\Camera Uploads\ folder on your computer's hard drive. Simply navigate to that folder, select all files (Ctrl-A or Command-A on Mac), copy them (Ctrl-C or Command-C) and navigate to the external hard-drive location where you want to copy the files and paste them in that location (Ctrl-V or Command-V).
