Choosing which folder to add camera uploads

Choosing which folder to add camera uploads

With multilpe users on my dropbox account, I need a feature where I can select which folder mobile uploads are directed to. My wife and I both use our phones for work, and we take a lot of pictures. Dropbox currently mixes all the photos we both take into a combined folder. I would like to have a serparate folder for each of us.

Like others I have been reading about since 2016 ..... I really think allowing us to automatically upload our camera pictures to the folder of our choice is a feature that would go a long way. We pay a lot of money to use a service like this to save us time. Making us then spend more time manually moving pictures around to the folder(s) we want, especially when uploading from two separate devices, is not worth using the Dropbox service. There are other sites that do a much better job and are a lot cheaper. I would prefer to NOT have to move all of my documents OFF Dropbox to another service just because your developers can't figure this one out.

I have two different devices which I need to sync with Dropbox and I want to keep these photos separate. I'd like to have an option to upload my photos from Pixel 5 to Pixel 5 folder and the ones on Xiaomi to Xiaomi folder. This simple feature is absent for years despite the fact a lot of people crave to have it. I pay to have 2TB of space but can't use it in the way I want it. That's preposterous, folks. Listen to your community, please.

This has been raised previously in long since locked posts. I want to upload photos I've taken. I don't want to upload the far more prolific screenshots which are ephemeral data only. There needs to be a way to select which images are, and are not uploaded.

Using Android.

Come on Dropbox! Like many other posters my wife and I share Dropbox (along with pretty much everything else!). I would be prepared to pay (within reason) for an extra feature to sort photo uploads by device (our Dropbox account is connected to 2 phones, 2 tablets and 2 PCs). Otherwise, can anyone suggest another cloud provider which _does_ offer this feature?
