I'd like the option to delay automatic camera uploads.

Feature request: Delayed camera upload

It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads.

Right now, photos are uploaded immediately, which means I often have to delete unwanted photos twice – first on my phone and then again in Dropbox.

A delay (or temporary queue/“review before upload” option) would make it much easier to sort and remove unwanted photos before they are uploaded.
