iPhone photo import - how do I import the favourites and album information?

Hello, I have set up my iphone photos to sync to my Dropbox. All good, but I can see now that they are all unsorted - my favourites and albums have not come through with the import. Is there a way to do this? I've spent ages sorting on my phone and now all I can see is date order sort or "star". Thanks

    Dropbox doesn't have albums. They were removed years ago. You can just create separate folders for each group of photos you want to store together.
