    All devices linked to your account will upload to the Camera Uploads folder. This cannot be changed, and there is no way to differentiate between the photos/videos uploaded from multiple devices.

Everytime when I change it, a new "Camera Uploads" folder is created, and all the images are uploaded to the new folder.

    You can't rename it.

    Could you guys implement this feature? Lots of people are asking for this since 2012. In my case I have my system in english, but Dropbox still want to use the french name "Chargement appareil photo" for camera upload. 

    Thanks

    I also want to change カメラアップロード folder to Camera uploads in English...

    Is there any workaround?

      No, sorry Kuruno.

      I believe that the name is set based upon your language preferences within Dropbox and once its set it cannot be changed.
