iPhone disconnects and Camera Uploads won't sync my photos on the desktop app

I have an issue with the automatic upload of my photos from my phone. I used to plug my phone into my computer and it would automatically upload my pictures from my phone into my computer (connected by usb cable) but it hasn't been working for months and I can't find a solution..

The issue is that Dropbox sees that there is photos and videos to sync but it barely starts before it goes "The device was disconnected, 0 photos and videos have been uploaded". The app on my Win11 laptop says " Your files are up to date". Of course I haven't touched my phone, I even keep the screen unlocked. It would not even think there are new photos until I changed the Autoplay setting to "Ask me every time" where it will actually notice that there are new photos to upload.

Any ideas?

thx
