If I delete photos from my camera folder on my phone will they stay in Dropfox Camera Uploads folder?

Is this still true as of May 25, 2016? I want to delete photos from my phone, but don't want to lose my Dropbox copies! (I pay the $10/month level of extra Dropbox space, if that matters, and I have a Galaxy 7 Edge.)

Can someone tell me if I delete photos and videos from gallery on s6 will they still been in my Dropbox box

Yes, they will.

It seems I have an exotic problem.... Taking photos and sync it automatically to dropbox works fine. But when I delete pictures it looks like they bounce back from the camera upload folder to my phones camera roll. Example:

Very often I take a number of photos and either immediately or some timelater I want to reduce them on the phone using the camera rol (clean up task during flight home from a trip).

Now, every single photo I delete from my photo roll comes back again after the next sync (I assume from my dropbox camera upload folder) and is shown again in my photo roll. In other words: Every single photo ever taken never leaves the system "photo rol - camera upload - dropbox" anymore.....

I guess it should be possible to reduce the photo gallery on the phone (using phones photo roll) and sync it accordingly then? I'm using a Samsung Note 3 with Android 5.0

Thank you for any advice on that!

Lukas, if that is happening you are not using a Dropbox official app - possibly something that has been created by Samsung? I believe it used to be called the Samsung Connector app. Not sure if that is still case.

Somehow I have Google Photos PicsArt OneDrive My Drive Dropbox and I'm sure there's another one there somewhere they all have my photos now I can just put them all in Dropbox and get rid of them all. is this true!?

danj,

It won't be Dropbox doing that. It's simply not programmed to do that. The only way Dropbox would add a photo back is if you open the photo in the Dropbox app and choose to save it back to your phone.

If your photos reappear in your camera roll after you delete them, then it's likely another process that is doing it.
