Camera Uploads not uploading all photos on iOS
I have recently noticed that not all photos from my Camera Roll have been uploaded during the "Camera Uploads" process. it seems that photos that I add to my camera roll from a message someone has se...
I can't believe I'm making another post about an outrageous dropbox problem, but here we go...
I have dropbox set up to automatically upload all of my photos from my iPhone 12, but alas, dropbox seems to choose it's own random selection of photos, rather than uploading all of them. I only noticed the problem after I deleted all of my (thousands of) photos from my phone, so I have no earthly idea what I've lost.
PS-it did the same thing with my music.
Get your s&%t together dropbox. This is ridiculous.

Dropbox Product ManagerHi, wallerlaurenp 👋 Thanks for sharing this feedback. I can totally understand your frustration here. I'd love to learn a bit more about the situation, so I can hopefully help you troubleshoot moving forward.
To start, would you mind checking to see if you have "Optimize iPhone Storage" enabled on your phone? This is an iOS setting that "offloads" some of your photos to iCloud to free up storage on your phone, and it makes those photos quite difficult for Dropbox to access (as they're not actually stored on your device).
You can check this in the following way:
- Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
- Check to see if "Sync this phone" has is toggled on (it'll be green).
- If so, check to see if "Optimize iPhone Storage" has a check mark next to it.
When you get a chance, let me know -- and we can go from there!
Well, now all of the photos are uploaded. Check.
But, they are uploaded with bizare filenames and the dates are erased forever. Awesome.
Also, I can only view them on a Mac, not on a PC.
Fabulous.
I can't afford to spend any more time on my dropbox issues. These problems have reached the point of insanity.

Hi there wallerlaurenp - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
When it comes to the issue with previewing the files on a Windows computer, could you let us know some additional information such as your device's OS and clarify if you're getting any particular error?

The photos that I upload from my iPhone or Mac can’t be read by my pc. I get a message that says the format is currently unsupported or the file is corrupted. The file is a jpg and it is not corrupted, because I can see it on my Mac. Slides in PowerPoints are also coming through as unsupported/corrupted. This is more than frustrating. This is negligence on the part of Dropbox.
