Hi Dave1234441, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is this the first time you're trying to upload photos from your phone to Dropbox?
If you enable the automatic camera upload feature, the images and videos would upload into a folder called Camera Uploads on your account.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

No, it's not the first time.
What about my other questions?
I don't want the images going into Camera Uploads, a few of us use dropbox and I don't want all my phones photos mixing with anyone else's, I want to keep them separate, hence why I'm asking all these questions.

In order to understand what you're seeing on your end, could you attach a screenshot from the mobile app, while hiding any personal info, of the upload options?

Did you manage to find a solution to this issue?
Uploading all images should be a pretty straight-forward thing to do, but I can't manage to find a way. If you found a way, please let me know.
My Camera upload has not been synching for more than 16 months (and yes, all things are updated). A nice feature in theory, but in reality just giving a false sense of security.
