Hey iDrops, thanks for joining our Community!

Let's see if I can address all your queries.

So, with an iPhone, you can open a folder and save all the individual files to your device, but you can't download the folder itself.

Adding Dropbox to your Files app, though, will help with the folder navigation when using an iPhone.

Regarding uploading your photos, you can use the Camera Uploads feature, which will automatically upload the photos you take to a folder in your Dropbox called "Camera Uploads".

This won't delete the originals from your device, though, that will have to be done manually.

As for point "C", would you mind letting me know how you copied the folder from Dropbox to your device?

Thanks.
