Syncing all Gallery-folders to 'Camera Uploads'
Hi,
On my Android smartphone I'd like to backup the folders of my gallery to Dropbox. This works fine, by using the Dropbox-app on my smarthpone.
On my smartphone I've created dozens of folders to organise my photos. The problem is that Dropbox copies all the images of every folder to only one big folder named 'Camera Uploads' on my Dropbox-account.
Now, none of the folders is used to synch. Only the images inside them.
I am using:
- Android 13
- app: Eenvoudige Galerij Pro
Does anyone know what I can do to synch the folders to my Dropbox-account as well?
Thanks in advanced.

The Camera Uploads feature will not sync the folders; only the photos and videos within them. If you want to upload files into folders, you'll need to do it manually by using the Dropbox app to first create a folder and then upload files into that folder.

Thank for your quick respond.
Is there no way to synch the folder I'm making?
Because I'm creating new folders every week. For every event I've got a new folder.
After organising all my 5.000 images on my phone I prefer not to do the same thing on my Dropbox again.

No, there isn't.
