Re: Stuck "importing photos..."

Stuck "importing photos..."

James P.45
New member | Level 2

My dropbox is set to auto import/upload my iphone photos, which it is doing. But it keeps telling me it's "importing photos..." and the menubar symbol is constantly the camera symbol that usually comes up when its importing. It's like its stuck.

 

Any help?

System: Macbook Pro, OSX El Capitan.

Problem is, when you do it via the device, it cant optimize the photo storage so you end up running out of space.... 

I think that is the whole problem here. The iCloud Photos optimises the storage and puts a smaller versnio on the phone. 

My guess is it has to download the full photo before Dropbox can sync it.
