    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.

Hi,

 

I have noticed that not all uploaded photos are being shown under 'Photos' when I log into dropbox via a browser. The missing photos appear to be random and they are all .jpg files. (I see no correlation with file size etc.) The .jpg files are present if I look for them in the relevant folder. If i use the dropbox app on my iphone or ipad then they appear under 'photos' as expected. The issue only seems to be when i access dropbox via a browser.

    Hey cisco_sanj, I merged your post under this thread since it echoed the OP here.


    Could you have a look and let us know if you have any follow up questions?

      Hi,

       

      This does not answer my question as the photos are showing as files under their appropriate folder but are not showing in PHOTOs. If I go to an IPAD or IPhone then i can see them under PHOTOs (and the files are obviously in their folders.)

        Hey cisco_sanj, when were the photos uploaded to your Dropbox account?

         

        And do you see the same thing on other browsers as well?
