Only upload photos from Android app when battery is above X%

Only upload photos from Android app when battery is above X%

Dropbox used to have an option to only upload/sync photos from my Android phone when its battery was above a certain percentage full.

 

Please bring back this feature!

 

I take a lot of photos and videos, and often this uses up 10-20% of my battery in a day. After several years of constant uploading on battery power, it has worn down my battery. Now that I have a new phone, I don't want to wear down my battery like this anymore!

Your concern is valid, and preserving your new phone's battery life is essential. While Dropbox no longer offers the feature to upload only when the battery is above a certain percentage, you can mitigate battery wear by manually initiating uploads when your device is connected to a power source. I can understand your problem. Everything has a soul and these souls are caused by some things, just like the human body has a soul. Similarly, in reactive materials, the brick must run and for this we often use batteries. A battery is very important and necessary for us. Similarly, according to me, if we use a winch, it also needs  a battery. Just like the battery in a mobile phone needs to be charged. You can know a lot about this son from here winchinsider.
