Make Dropbox the destination for downloads on my phone

Is there a way to make Dropbox the destination for when I download things on my phone? Right now they automatically go to the Google Drive, and my only other option is the Microsoft OneDrive. Right now I have to download something, find it on my phone, and then share it to my Dropbox, which is not as convenient as if I could just make the correct Dropbox folder the direct destination for a download.  (I have an Android Samsung Ultra 20 FE.)

    Hey Currian - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

    There isn't a direct way to do this, but you can enable the automatic camera uploads feature on your mobile device and then select to upload your downloads folder in the app's settings (under the Account tab). 

    I hope this helps!
