Device iPhone 16 Pro Operating System/Browser (if using the web) IOS 18.6.2 (latest) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 440.2.2 Syncing Status No status. "Camera Uploads > on" Question or Issue I went to check my iphone photos in dropbox and realised that I've had no further images since 1 April 2025. According to the camera uploads settings I have it toggled "on" and upload come from "camera roll" + "all photos" + including videos "on". The only option I have is: "turn off camera uploads". I have plenty capacity remaining on Dropbox and I am unsure how to restart photos taken since April 2025. Any clues.?50Views0likes4Comments"Camera Uploads is disabled by your admin" error on iOS

Hello, Suddenly today most (except a couple?) of my files in Camera Uploads folder got renamed to just HH:MM:SS removing the date whatsover from the filename. This included not only latest files but also older ones that were in this folder for long time. Not sure what triggered this action, but I can see all of those were renamed today ~20:54 which coincidentally is when I opened Dropbox app on my phone.: I'm using iOS app to sync my photos for years and it was working flawlessly from two separate iPhones. App version is 434.3.2 Assuming bug?92Views0likes4CommentsThe dates of images and videos under Photos tab on iOS are in future millennia.
A few files are always on top of my imported images under the photos tab. They have a normal creation and modification date and are located elsewhere, not in the camera uploads folder. How would I fix this? thanks130Views0likes5CommentsHow to reset my camera uploads, I tried everything
Hi! I need to force the Android app to re-upload all the photos in my gallery. I set it up so it uploads everything, not just new photos, but it will only upload new items. I believe it recognizes older pics as "already uploaded" and I don't know how to reset this. I have already: -re-installed the app -deleted the cache memory -deleted all files in the Dropbox camera upload folder -restarted the device -even tried from a new device with a different SD card but with the same files in it Still, Dropbox will only upload new files. I also tried manually uploading but due to the fíes being cover 1500, the app never stops processing the files and never uploads anything. I'm on Android 12 and no other apps are set toSolved8.3KViews1like100CommentsThe Camera uploads folder disappeared from Dropbox after upgrading Mac OS
After updating to Sequoia 15.5, the camera upload folder has disappeared from my Dropbox. I have tried reinstalling Dropbox on my phone, and on my Mac - all to no avail.

Please advise anyone.Solved398Views0likes11CommentsCan I export the entire "camera uploads" folder to my device?
I've already search online and here but I can't find a solution. I've deleted by error the "camera" folder on my android phone (S23 Ultra). I still have all photos in the dropbox folder named "Camera uploads", but when I click on the "..." of the folder and "duplicate" I can't find the phone's folder to copy again the files on my phone. I've found online also that I could use the option "Save on device" but unfortunately I don't have that option :( The only option I get are: - Share - Manage access - Make available offline (enables) - Remove from Special - View in folder - Rename - Duplicate - Move - Delete Can someone help me to restore the folder on my phone ??? Thanks in advance Alfredo231Views0likes10CommentsHow can I always show the most recent files first in the camera uploads folder?
I want my Camera Uploads folder to be organized to always show photos chronologically with the most recent first. That seems like an obvious default and yet every single time I open it, it shows random ancient files and I have to select Modify and most recent first. Why?138Views0likes4CommentsMy camera uploads stopped uploading new files on my iPhone.
Until May 18, all the photos I take with my iPhone (iOS 18.1.1) were automatically sync'd into my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder. Since then, the new images are not going into the folder. My phone is fully charged, on strong wifi, and I haven't changed any settings. How do I get it to continue uploading photos to the Camera Uploads Dropbox folder?225Views0likes7Comments
