changing the location of Camera upload folder
While uploading the pictures to Dropbox by default is uploading to Camera upload folder. How can I change the default location as I have 2 Iphone and would like to synchronize the pictures to Dropbo...
All devices linked to your account will upload to the Camera Uploads folder. This cannot be changed, and there is no way to differentiate between the photos/videos uploaded from multiple devices.
I can't believe that this was marked "resolved" based on the useless excuse provided by a DropBox superuser.

It's not an excuse. It's how the feature was designed to work. You cannot specify different folders for different devices, and you cannot change the Camera Uploads folder (name or location).
As Mark suggested above, you can request it in the Share an idea forum. There are already posts that discuss it. Find one and add a reply to it.
It is an excuse. There is no legitmate reason to design it this way. I personally have multiple IOS devices and because of the way it is implemented I can only turn this on for one device. I would never want to mix different devices. If this feature doesn't end up changing, I will not be renewing my dropbox plus subscription.
