It takes a while for my Android to upload my camera roll

So it looks like dropbox doesn't immediately upload my camera roll.  It usually takes several hours but sometimes it never seems to happen.  I read the help guides about battery optimization for Android but the settings are way different on my end.  I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    It should be almost instant. 

    Does it upload if you manually uploaded a file? Are you on WiFi or cellular?
