Can photos be automatically checked for spam content etc, before being added to Dropbox?

Hi everyone!

I want to switch to using a Dropbox service from another service, and I can't quickly find the necessary information regarding such functionality that would help analyze photos before uploading them to storage.

Does Dropbox have such functionality?

    There is no such feature that I'm aware of on Dropbox, but, check API documentation and also if needed ask on the API Forums.

    How do you mean validation? Can you elaborate a bit.

    If you mean you want to manually approve photos you would need to individually upload. 

    Camera Uploads would just upload everything in your Camera Roll.

      Thanks for the answer Mark!

      Before uploading to the storage, the photo must be automatically checked. So that users don't upload any garbage, 18+ content. We use this feature on the one service where we store files, but we want to migrate our data from there to Dropbox.
