Hi Ty! I'm a product manager here at Dropbox -  first off thank you for the work that you do with our emergency services!

    Hey Ethan, thank you.

    Yes that’s what I do, and why I would find great value in a new “Upload New Photos”feature or something similar and/or like I mentioned previously mentioned. And yes, I cable transfer the photos from my camera’s SD Card onto my iPad to edit them, then upload to DropBox Cloud that is synced to my laptop that I then use to transfer files onto the USB’s.
