Thanks for the info, have you been using the automatic camera uploads feature on the Dropbox desktop application, or have you been transferring the images manually to your computer?

      If you're transferring manually, could you try moving the files from the camera into another folder entirely, and once they're all copied over, move those images into the Dropbox folder?
