Hi Hannah, thanks for the help.

A. I've tried out the Camera Uploads feature but was unable to find the folder name "Camera Uploads" in Dropbox. Where can I find this "Camera Uploads" folder?

B. Regarding your question on how I copied the folder from Dropbox to the iPhone. 

  1. Using the Files app, goto Dropbox
  2. Select the folder "Fav_Photos"
  3. Copy and Paste to "On My iPhone"

All this is done within the iPhone's Files app.

Hey iDrops - thanks for the additional information. 

Your camera uploads folder should be visible in your account's homepage, assuming that you're logged into a Dropbox account that has enabled the feature. 

Also, instead of using the Files app,  have you tried using the Dropbox mobile app directly?
