Two-Way Sync Option for "Camera Uploads" Folder
Please release a "Two-Way Sync" toggle option for the "Camera Uploads" folder. This "Camera Uploads" folder would actually be a valuable feature if this option were enabled. Currently, the folder is a one-way sync, which simply creates more work for us users - if we use the feature as is, we have to clean out photos twice - once on our phone and once in the "Camera Uploads" folder. For that reason, I simply have the feature turned off as I am sure many others do as well. Ideally, with this folder having 2-way sync capability, it could be used as a "holding place" for phone photos until the user is able to organize the pictures/videos into proper folders elsewhere on Dropbox. This way, if the phone is lost or stolen, those pictures are securely saved to Dropbox AND it is a perfect mirror of what was actually on the phone. PLEASE FIX THIS. 🙂

In fact, this feature would also be a significant improvement over Google Photos - there, you also have to manually delete camera backups when the pictures have been deleted/reorganized from the phone.
I am waiting impatiently for this feature!
- BackmannNew member | Level 2Hi,
I recently purchased a Dropbox Plus account and have really hoped that I didn’t need to ‘double sync’ all my photos. As @fvargas already mentioned it’s really annoying when you have to clean up bought your photos and then also have to do the same in your camera upload folder. Do you have any update on this matter ?.

Personally, I don't see it changing. It's not meant as a sync process. It's a backup of your photos to your Dropbox account so you can delete them from your phone. It wouldn't serve as much of a backup if deleting them on your phone also deleted them in Dropbox (or vice versa).
