Retain folder structure when using Camera Uploads on mobile app

Backing up photos on mobile dumps them all into one 'Camera Uploads' folder. The expected behavior is that the photos uploaded will stay in their own folders. This should at the very least be a toggle option. Every other Dropbox Backup solution retains folders, so why are photos any different? You even select the folders to upload from when setting this up, so the functionality is a step away. Pretty jarring UX from an otherwise great service.

    Honestly, I completely agree. Iv been trying to move away from Google Photos and just use Dropbox for my camera uploads! But there are hardly any features for camera backup, or even filtering photos, for that matteršŸ˜¤. Hopefully they add more to it.

    How does this not have more upvotes? 

    The camera upload dump into one folder and losing the original folder structure is extremely annoying...
