How can I move my camera upload's photos to another folder (possibly out of Dropbox)?
Trying to move camera uploaded photos to a separate folder outside of dropbox. Cant seem to figure out the process. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for the swift response Dave - most appreciated.
You won't be able to move files on this page as this specific page is your account's homepage. From this section, you can access:
- Notifications: new activity since the last time you used Dropbox or Paper.
- Starred: files, folders, Paper docs, and Paper folders that you star will appear here.
- Recents: Files and Paper docs that you recently viewed or edited will appear here.
- Uploads [iOS only]: allows you to manage your pending manual uploads.
To access your Dropbox files, click "Files" in the left-hand sidebar. Then, in order to move files from one location to another you need to follow the steps below:
- Click to the left of a folder or file to highlight the content
- Click ‘Move…’ from the top level choices
- Navigate through your folder structure to the place you want to move the content
- Select the folder you want to which you want to move the content
- Click ‘Move’
Dropbox will then move the content from one location to the other. Please do note that there's a limit of 10,000 files when you are moving content via the website. To move large amounts of files or files that are large in size you may want to use the desktop application.
I hope this helps DaveDeS - please let me know how this goes. Thanks!

Hey there Dave - I understand you'd like to move some of your files to another location other than your camera uploads folder. Could you let me know if you're using the desktop app, the mobile app or just the website to do this?
Are you getting any error by any chance? If so, would you mind sharing a screenshot so I can have a visual of this as well?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Walter,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
The files were uploaded from phone to camera uploads.
I am using the website to do this.
