Create, upload, and share

How. Can I control the photos that Dropbox offers when I ask to upload on my phone. It has picked utterly randomly, repeated, lost any chronology and is showing deleted files. What is worse is that other apps are now showing the same selection! Help please!
Thanks for the info, currently, it isn't possible to specify which folder you want to upload from, as the mobile app detects all images on your device.
As a workaround, you could try uploading via the Android file file system by choosing the images you want, and then using the send/share button on your OS choose the option 'Add to Dropbox'.

Welcome aboard the forum, @Franb1!
Can you provide a few more details on this? Are you using camera uploads to automatically add your photos to your Dropbox account, by any chance? Or are you having an issue when trying to download photos to your mobile device instead?
Any screenshots that you can upload of what you see on your end are much appreciated.
Keep me posted.

Hey @Franb1, are you using an Android or iOS device?
And are you on the most recent version of both your OS and the Dropbox app?

App was downloaded that morning! not sure about OS. But is only having internal access to files on the laptop also 'normal'?
Android
Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "is only having internal access to files on the laptop also 'normal'?"?
Also, can you send us a screenshot showing the issue, to help us get a visual?
If you can describe the steps you're following to upload the photos, I'd really appreciate it as well.
