From my phone Hannah. But I think I've come up with a better solution now. How does this sound to you? Leave Camera Uploads on all the time, take photos on my phone and then delete those I don't want on my phone. On Dropbox there will be ALL the photos I originally took and on my phone there will just be the ones I actually want to keep. Then block delete all those photos in Dropbox and perform a manual upload of the ones remaining on my phone. I will still have to delete them twice but the deletion on Dropbox will just be a block delete rather than having to go through and delete them individually.
Thanks
