'New photo' upload from phone date changeable?

'New photo' upload from phone date changeable?

When uploading only new photos from my phone I see a date of 2/27/23 for any new photos to be uploaded after that date. The issue is when I delete a photo from DB but not my phone, it will re-upload the picture since it’s after that date. Can I change the new photo upload date to something more current so I don’t keep uploading pics I don’t want saved in DB?

Hi @BossHogg, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

It shouldn't re-upload an image again if you delete it from the Dropbox site, since it was already uploaded once.

 

Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the camera upload feature in the mobile app?

 

Keep me posted!

Thanks. I'm sure I've done that before but it worked this time. It still shows a 2/27/23 date but it's not uploading previous pics, so that's what I needed.
