Can 'camera uploads' upload photos only from my camera folder?

Hi, is there a way to automatically backup my camera roll from Android to Dropbox? I only want to backup the photos I take but cannot stop it from uploading every photo in every folder. 😔

    Hi ThaiBill, there isn't isn't a way to disable the backup of the screenshots in the automatic camera uploads feature, as it is included by default.

    If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!

Hannah,

 

Thanks for the response -- sorry to hear there's no solution from Dropbox. Do you happen to know how it could be requested as a future enhancement?
