    Thanks for that, wallemoney!

     

    If you clear the Dropbox app's cache or uninstall and reinstall it, do you see the same behavior?

That's correct Hannah 

 

I'd however love to avoid sifting through thousands of photos in search of the 600+ that don't automatically sync with the others

Hi wallemoney, currently, there isn't any method to detect photos that haven't been uploaded via the Dropbox mobile app, so they would need to searched for manually.
