Is it possible to upload ALL images to Camera Uploads?

Camera Uploads obviously uploads images from the camera roll. Only. Is it possible to upload all photos on my phone to Camera Uploads? Including ones downloaded or edited in an app?

I’m glad that I could at least help to clear up the situation, it’s unfortunate that the work around I suggested wasn’t feasible for you. Perhaps there may be some suggestions by others on how you could possibly set the Camera roll as a default location to save all images perhaps, so that they can be automatically uploaded by camera uploads?
 
Your thread will remain open in case any other users have some other suggestions on how to achieve your goal. In the meantime I’ll pass along your interest in seeing this (uploading all images from "Photos") as a feature to our dev team.
 
Have a great day - Cheers!

    This isn't quite what you're asking for BUT.. if you do not mind using a third party app, you can get a similar effect. get the 'FolderSync' app or any other app with similar features from the google play store.using FolderSync app as an example, add your Dropbox account, then under Folderpairs, under Accounts: select your Dropbox account. sync type: 'to remote folder.'. Remote folder: select the folder in Dropbox you want to sync to. Local folder: the folder from your phone you want to get the files from, then select the frequency of the syncing, if only while on wifi or cellular and things along that line. you might have to repeat this process for each individual folder you want to sync.

     

    Hope this helps
