I have connected my iPhone to my PC, and I have opened Dropbox. How do I start camera upload?

I have the Dropbox app, and my pictures are not uploaded. It says "waiting to upload", but nothing happens. "Pictures" at the bottom is marked red and the number 9049. It seems like it has detected (most of) my pics, but I can't see 9049 pictures.

This is a nightmare. iCloud is terrible, and I signed up to DP to solve this problem. I still can't transfer my 10 000 pictures from my iPhone to my PC easily.

Have you followed the instructions in the link I gave you to turn on camera upload on the computer? Note that this will only work is the iPhone is seen and detectable by the computer (which from your first post may not be the case).

From the app on your phone have you given it time to upload them to Dropbox from the app? It isnt instant.
