    Hi mtkrimi, thanks for posting today.

     

    It is possible to upload Live Photos by enabling that option in the Videos section of the camera upload settings.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

    It’s 2023, every single cloud platform BUT Dropbox seems to support IOS Live Photos, but Dropbox is ran by old people who can’t seem to see the future and are stuck in the dark ages. Please modernize your system, grandpa. You are severely outdated. It’s completely ridiculous the top backup service will not back up apple Live Photos from the app like every other photo backup. Even free Amazon backs up Live Photos. I really don’t understand what these guys are thinking, I’m a very disgruntled customer!

      There is no option for enabling Live Photo uploads in the video section (there is a single slider) of iOS version 294.2.2

      My Live Photos are not working and I’d like to know how to enable this?

        Hey oldmax, if you go to the camera uploads settings and tap on 'upload from', do you not see 'live photos' as an option?
