Hey Spuds - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

I'm  afraid this  is not an option at this time, but I found this idea which echoes your request, so feel free to take a look and up-vote it to show your interest in this.

I wish I had a better answer than this.

    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!
