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 Dropbox by enabling the camera upload option. If the pictures are going to be uploaded default in camera upload folder how can I differentiate the pictures from both Iphone.
really appreciate if I can get some on this topic.
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.

Hi there
In your Apps (IOS/Android), Would it be possible to implement the option to change the folder where you automatically upload photos to?
I have two units and it is very annoying that the photos go to the same folder since they are used for very different purposes and i need to rearrange all of the photos manually, extremely time consuming.
Thanks in advance.

This has been requested many times over the years and it has never been implemented. I seriously doubt that it ever will be.

The current implementation of Camera Uploads forces all users to upload their photos to the same Camera Uploads directory in the root level of the hierarchy. Whilst simplistic from a UX perspective, to power users this is constrictive and deliberately and obstinately ignores the reality of the file heirarchies many users will have already established prior to joining Dropbox or enabling the feature. This could be a setting hidden along with Selective Sync and similar, which would maintain the simplicity of the current UX for all but a very small sub-set of users.
