Camera Uploads keeps uploading images from WhatsApp

Dropbox App version 342.2.4

 

So I only want to back-up the Camera Roll (DCIM/Camera). But even if I just checkmark Camera Roll and uncheck WhatsApp, WhatsApp images will still manage to get into the Camera Upload. I tried to circumvent this by just Uploading Files directly to the Camera Upload folder (by navigating directly to the DCIM folder), only to be greeted by a "too many files" error. Camera Roll isn't explicitly uploading just from the DCIM Camera folder, and these WhatsApp images are saved in a separate WhatsApp folder. I appreciate any feedback.

    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.
