Don't delete the Camera Uploads folder. It's a system folder and should be left alone. You can, however, delete everything in it if you're sure you don't need it.
The folder would have been created only by enabling the Camera Uploads feature, either in the Dropbox application or on the mobile app. It's used to automatically upload photos to your Dropbox; either those taken on a mobile device, or those that you chose to import into Dropbox from a USB drive, memory card, etc., on the desktop application.
I'm dumbfounded. You mean to tell me that you cannot specify a specific folder to upload photos to? With an ultra-sophisticated app like Dropbox? Why the hell not?

Of course you can, when uploading manually, but if you use the automatic Camera Uploads feature, your photos and videos will always upload to the Camera Uploads folder.
