Is there a way for emptying Camera Upload without having it delete from everywhere it has synced?

    Thanks for the additional information TheGaffer13 - how are you today?

    Can you please let me know if you have tried to do this with a file only - just as a test to see what this kind of action actually does? 

    Give this a go and let me know the results. 

    Additionally, the message/warning you're seeing is referring to your Dropbox account (all places mean from all devices that are linked to your account and the website respectively).

    Moreover, as iPhoto is deprecated since 2015 I'd also advise to double check this with Apple too. 

    In any case, keep me posted on your findings!

Hi, that link you sent is not relevant because it does not speak to the special case of photos.

You are not understanding the problem if you think this is about syncing the Dropbox folder on my computer. 

Please escalate this as a support request.  Someone with knowledge of working with Photos (the Mac program, not the type of file) has my permission to contact me directly.

Thank you.
