    Hi - I'd love to get an email with some help, too!

    My backup harddrive failed, but the important photos are still on my iPhone. I'd like to force Dropbox to re-import all the photos and videos from a specified date range. Thanks!

      Hey freecaptive6914, thanks for your comment here and sorry to hear about your hard drive.

       

      Resetting your Camera Uploads won't allow you to choose which photos and videos to re-upload, I'm afraid.

       

      It will cause all your photos and videos to re-upload, including any that have already been uploaded.

       

      Is this something you'd like to do?

        I would also like to completely reset my camera upload to force dropbox to re-import all of the photos on my phone camera roll.
