I followed my Camera Uploads folder but I don't get email notifications about it

I use the Camera Uploads feature on an iPhone SE, and then access the photos to list items on eBay, so I delete the photos after they’re used. I wanted to track how many photos were added and removed if possible, which the Follow feature looks like it should do, except I enabled it on my Camera Uploads folder 2 days ago and have not received any daily updates. I think I have it set correctly, and I receive other emails from Dropbox, so I don’t think that’s where the issue lies. Does that folder maybe not support the Follow feature even though it’s shown as an option?

 

 

  • Hey jonathanbrightlight - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    I'm afraid that what you're looking for can't be achieved through the feature that allows you to follow your Camera Uploads folder since it only applies to shared folders and team folders as well as outlined here

    I hope this clarifies and please let us know if you have anything else to ask. 

    Thank you!
