Selective Photo Upload on iOS

[Codex]

Hi,

There is a feature on iOS to upload all photos taken and delete the source photos. However I only want to upload some of my photos and I also want to decide into which folder they go.

In the moment the steps I have to do are:

- go into the dropbox app, create a folder

- select and upload the photos I like to this folder

- remember which photos I had uploaded 

- go to my photos app and delete the uploaded photos

Now besides the risk to delete photos I might not have uploaded, this process is quite clumsy. Is there any faster way to achieve the same result?

I also thought about writing a new iOS 12 siri shortcut, but dropbox has no integration yet (apart from the standard cloud features that dont do what I need). Is this going to come soon?

Thank you for your help,

Codex

Well, from iPad is very easy to do it directly, from the app Photos, taking profit from “Side by Side” and “Drag and Drop” features, both available since IOS 11. Just be sure you have Dropbox in your Dock.

I enclosed a video to show you a demo for situations in which the destination folder previously exists.

Genius! Why didn't I come up with this myself? 

This will make things so much easier! Thank you a lot!

And very easy to create a new folder if you need it.
