How do I stop photos appearing in my timeline?
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked thousands of times and/or is readily answered online but the answers I’ve found tell me to use a Dropbox vault which I believe has recently been withdrawn,
Summarily my wife and I have some rather personal (!?!) photos and videos saved on Dropbox which we don’t want our children to see if they open the app on our phones to look at holiday pictures or whatever, and currently although we’ve moved said items to an unshared folder the images still appear in the photos timeline.
Please can someone tell me how to hide them from the timeline and hopefully even password or pin protect the folder we’ve put them in, similar to the ‘Hidden Folded’ on an iPhone?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice….

Thank you for your very quick (albeit also very disappointing!!) reply Walter.
Since reading the other comments as advised, o still can’t see how to stop Dropbox uploading my hidden folder from my phone?
Perhaps it’s different if I go the website but through the app all I’m seeing is “everything” or I have to select (literally thousands of) individual photos, the app’s not even letting me choose entire folders, is that ‘the norm’ or am I doing something wrong??
Thanks again for your help…

Hey Spuds, I hope it's okay for me to jump in here!
If you open the Dropbox app on your iPhone, tap on "account", then on "camera uploads" and then on "upload from", you should be able to select to upload everything from your camera roll or select to upload from your smart albums and manually created albums.
I hope this helps!
