Dropbox doesn't support FTP access. If your camera is on a network, it would need the ability to connect to Dropbox through the API. Otherwise you would need to transfer the files to your phone and let the Camera Uploads feature upload them through the Dropbox app.

    Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for.

    I know myself how to transfer from phone to Dropbox

    The point is to transfer to Dropbox directly via camera and it's wifi transmitter, like I can do via creating ftp on photoshelter.

    As I understand there is no way to do that

      Correct, unless your camera has an app that can connect to Dropbox directly through the API. Such an app would typically be provided by the device manufacturer.
