I don't want to use Google photos, just Dropbox. How can I achieve that?

I’d like to know how to get Dropbox to be my main photo storage and not have to use Google photo at all. I’d like to get rid of Google photo.

    I am guessing but you'd need to download your files from Google and upload to Dropbox.

    To stop the google app taking photos automatically uninstall it and use Camera Uploads here to automatically upload from mobiles.
