I'm afraid they cannot only appear in the photos tab, yd19.
Since they are uploaded in your account, they'll appear in the All files page online and the Files tab in the app.
You could create a folder, though, to move them into, if you want.

3 years agoThanks for the update, yd19.
Just to clarify, are you not seeing them in the photos tab online or in the photos tab on your Dropbox mobile app?

Hi. So interestingly, the photos and videos have now appeared in the photos tab both on the ios app and on the desktop online. BUT they are also still showing as individual files under the 'Files' tab , which is pretty annoying, as i now have a clogged up long list of files (400+) on the main homepage.
Is there any way to make sure they ONLY appear in the photos section?

Ok. Thanks for your reply. Its a good idea for me to just put them in a separate folder.
Does this mean that those photos / videos are using up twice the memory space (from my collective Dropbox allowance) as they are both in Folders tab and Photos Tab?
