Upload a Photo Album from iPhone to Dropbox
How can you upload just one photo album to Dropbox from iPhone? I would like to just get my Favorites album uploaded to Dropbox. Is there a way to either 1. select a whole album for upload or 2. easily select all photos in an album for upload? From what I have tried, it appears I can only select one photo at a time. I have 2,400 favorite photos I want to upload to Dropbox and selecting them one at a time is not a task I am up for. And importing to my Mac first doesn't seem to be an option either... Image Capture doesn't show albums. iPhoto wants to import all photos first (and can't because there's not enough space on my computer). iTunes doesn't show albums because iCloud is on. I could download from iCloud but then the photos lose all the date/time metadata that I need. Would appreciate any help! Thank you

I have a syncing issue due to my VPN settings. Can you help?
Hi ! It's been 2 weeks (I think) that dropbox doesn't sync when any of my VPN server are off. I don't use any weird VPN client, I just set a regular VPN, in the Win10 settings panel. Adding the VPN server adress, and done : https://image.ibb.co/k2k2Zf/Capture.png I'm pretty sure it has worked for more than a year : The dropbox sync was OK wherever any VPN was ON or OFF. The strange thing is... I tried to re-install the dropbox client, and the same thing happen with dropboxinstaller.exe cannot have access to internet if no VPN connexion is active ! Every other internet apps work normally. Firefox, Windows, Steam... Even my Nextcloud desktop client doen't care if a VPN is turned ON or OFF. It just finds its way to the internet. Anyone has the same issue ?

Dropbox iOS Conversion of HEIC Photos to JPG on Portrait Mode Photos not Viewable on Sierra
I have my iPhone set to capture HEIC, and Dropbox client set to Save HEIC Photos As JPG. If you take a "Portrait Mode" photo on the iPhone in HEIC, and have Dropbox convert this to JPG, the JPG is unviewable on a Mac running Sierra. Non "Portrait Mode" photos are viewable fine on Sierra, and Portrait Mode photos that can't be viewed on Sierra, can be viewed on High Sierra. NOTE: Portrait Mode is not the orientation of the phone, but a special mode that tries to create fake Bokeh by blurring the background through software. System Info: iPhone 7+ iOS 11.0.2 Dropbox for iOS v66.2.8 macOS Sierra v10.12.6 macOS High Sierra v10.13 Dropbox for Mac v35.4.20 Please see Screenshots:

Dropbox Capture screen recording skips and buffers upon playback
When I do a screen recording using Dropbox Capture (v94.0.3), the resulting video skips and buffers upon playback. It's unwatchable. I have tried waiting for the full video to load before playing it - that does not help. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox Capture - that doesn't help. Cleared my cache too, that didn't fix it. I'm using Windows 11 on a PC, and other screen recording software does not do this (Loom, the native Microsoft screen record software, etc). The capture feature works just fine for still images so there is only a problem with screen recording. I've been using Dropbox Capture for a few months since it was in beta--this was not a problem about a month ago. Anyone have a solution?
