Camera uploads should be able to upload from any location on my phone.

[larsdennert]

The camera uploads feature doesn't back up all my photos on Android. Unlike the Onedrive app that can back up photos from all over the phone. Wish this could get fixed. For instance, files saved from sms or downloads folders don't get backed up by DB.

There isnt anything to actually fix - what you are seeing is the intended action.

I'll move your post over to the Feature Requests area, however (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Share-an-idea/ct-p/101002000)

Please make the location from which Dropbox uploads images and videos user configurable. My Sony Alpha a6000 stores mp4 files in a folder named PRIVATE and not the usual DCIM folder. Dropbox does not recognize this folder and thus does not upload the files. This defeats the usually smooth and automatic upload process. I just bought this camera and it is a major issue to me - to the extent that I may have to look for another upload and storage solution. This is probably a problem for many other customers as the Sony Alpha line is very popular. - Thanks

Hey there @EJW - thank you for your suggestion!

I understand how helpful this would be so I have passed your comments along to the team for review in my feedback report.

Should you need anything else in the meantime, just let me know and we'll take it from there.

Thank you!
