Can I delete photos from my phone after uploading them without deleting them from Dropbox too?
Here's the essence of the problem: I have DropBox Pro installed on an iPhone 5s, iPad Air, MacBook Pro and Windows desktop computer. I do NOT want to clog up my iPhone, iPad and MacBook with files fr...
- No there isnt Frankie, as unfortunately has been said in this thread.
Why can't you guys just add a feature to delete all photos that were just uploaded? It's really not that hard...
I would really like this feature - for the phone to auto-clear-down. There is an app which does this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sweesoft.sweethome&hl=en_GB
It copies your photos onto a network location, then will clear them off your phone after a configurable amount of time. This could even be used with dropbox, if you set up a location on your home network to auto-upload to dropbox.
But it would be a lot better if it was handled natively by the dropbox app.
Sorry, I'm not sure that this should be really handled by the Dropbox app. It would be much more natural that the Camera app deletes the Photos after they were sent - to whatever cloud or other app. Dropbox is about syncing files, and it is the best in this discipline. Any feature beyond that is a loss of focus, and every feature is a potential bug. Dropbox should not strive to solve other apps shortcomings. My opinion.
I disagree - the Dropbox App is what is uploading the files to Dropbox - not the camera app. The camera app has no idea about this uploading activity - it is not sending. The Dropbox app should have two options at a minimum - copy or move - IMO.
- I must disagree with the idea that the camera app should be responsible for cleanup as Dropbox, not the camera app, is the one that knows if the sync has been successful
