Please release a "Two-Way Sync" toggle option for the "Camera Uploads" folder. This "Camera Uploads" folder would actually be a valuable feature if this option were enabled. Currently, the folder is...

- Hi,
I recently purchased a Dropbox Plus account and have really hoped that I didn’t need to ‘double sync’ all my photos. As @fvargas already mentioned it’s really annoying when you have to clean up bought your photos and then also have to do the same in your camera upload folder. Do you have any update on this matter ?.

Personally, I don't see it changing. It's not meant as a sync process. It's a backup of your photos to your Dropbox account so you can delete them from your phone. It wouldn't serve as much of a backup if deleting them on your phone also deleted them in Dropbox (or vice versa).
Maybe nothing has changed in the way the camara upload function works, but my point is that something might needs to change !.. Comparing to other cloud backup solutions (like Google one , iCloud etc.) they all have a feature with some kind of two-way sync option. As already mentioned, it is in my opinion total waste of time to have to clean up my photos two places. I really hope this feature also will be available in Dropdox in the future.
In fact, this feature would also be a significant improvement over Google Photos - there, you also have to manually delete camera backups when the pictures have been deleted/reorganized from the phone.
I am waiting impatiently for this feature!
