Hi there,
What you can actually do is once you have enabled your Camera Uploads to "On", and when all the photos are uploaded to your Dropbox Online account, the photos are stored in a Default folder called "Camera Uploads". You can transfer them in a separate folder once the photos are all uploaded :https://help.dropbox.com/organize/move . Then your files are safe and secure on your online account already. Then you can delete the files on your cellphone. In cases where you are having some issues with the automatic camera uploads feature not working, you can refer on this link for the troubleshooting guides: https://help.dropbox.com/create-upload/camera-uploads-fix
Hope this helps.
Thanks

The automatic Camera Uploads feature will only upload a photo or video once. The only way to have it re-upload the same files again is to have Dropbox Support reset the Camera Uploads feature on your account.
Thank you very much for your quick reply!
It's a shame that this is so complicated. It's not only a lot of work for me, but also for the support. The file size and checksum should actually be enough to determine whether the file is already on the server. Many negative reviews in the App Store have apparently been mentioning the unreliable automatic upload function for a long time.
