Hi maxton, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

This would force your device to re-upload all the images in the camera roll from the beginning into the Camera Uploads folder.

 

Are you looking to reset the camera uploads for a mobile device, or a desktop device?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Hi Jay,

     

    Thanks for the message.

     

    My goal would actually be to re-upload a large portion of photos from my iPhone, given that the backup is not on Dropbox and neither on my laptop. Could you let me know if there is a why where I could just select a portion of photos to be re-uploaded?

     

    My understanding was that it is not possible to re-upload the pictures after they have been uploaded once (even if this happened a long time ago), but I am not fully sure. If that is the case, I would be ok to re-upload the entire folder of photos from my iPhone; I would then be able to extract the missing photos from the entire folder.

     

    Thank you,

    Max
