Can Camera Uploads photos get uploaded to a shared folder?

As a couple, we want one location for photos with the ability to edit/delete photos. We have a family account, is there a way that the auto uploads from our devices can be automatically put into a shared folder that we can then both manage?

    That isnt possible I'm afraid. You would all have your own folder and then need to move it in to one shared folder.

    Thanks for that, but how do two people/devices end up with one photo folder? Each family member has a separate uploads folder and I get that we can share that. We want one family photo folder that happens automatically.

    Hey JFBruns, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    The Camera Uploads folder is the destination folder for your devices' photos and videos and this cannot be changed, however, you can actually share the Camera Uploads folder itself.

     

    You, for example, can share the folder with edit permissions with your partner, so you can both access and edit the files in the folder.

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
