Thank you for the message! “Back up” is probably the wrong terminology. Rather,
I want to offload and then store: 1. my text messages and the pictures in many of those messages. 2. My 8000 photos and videos. Those are eating up the vast majority of my storage to the point where I can’t back up my phone. Literally have all or most off my phone but available.
Then, my iPhone with 128 gig and associated ICloud will not be limited, amd I will be able to “back up” my phone.

Thank you

Thank you Hannah!
So, once photos and videos and select text messages are uploaded and stored in Dropbox, I can DELETE THEM from my iPhone?
Thank you

    Hi Poppop, once you're certain you can access those files from the Dropbox site, then it means they've been uploaded in full, and you can delete the original files from your phone.
