Uploading photos
How. Can I control the photos that Dropbox offers when I ask to upload on my phone. It has picked utterly randomly, repeated, lost any chronology and is showing deleted files. What is worse is that o...
Thanks for the info, currently, it isn't possible to specify which folder you want to upload from, as the mobile app detects all images on your device.
As a workaround, you could try uploading via the Android file file system by choosing the images you want, and then using the send/share button on your OS choose the option 'Add to Dropbox'.
Not used previously on phone. His is the only app I have found that behaves in this way . Instrgram has followed Dropbox's lead in the "gallery" selection but also allows me bypass it to pick from folders in the phone such as camera, Google photos, downloads etc.

- Thank you, as a work around that is direct and useful! Just tried it out. I could have coped with the other if it been honestly a take from my phone's files. Why did prioritise other people's WhatsApps, random profile picture, multiple repetitions over photos I have taken and then muddle them up in a chaotic mess? Who ever set that up as a good thing was sadly mistaken.
But thank you for the response , at least I can use the system now - Jay
No worries, glad to have helped out a little!
- I see this has been accepted as a solution. What we arrived at was an evasion of the problem. It still remains that what has happened renders a major part of your product US. The cross contamination with the Instagram and now Facebook feeds is more than a headache, it has cost a week's worth of preparation taking photos ready and lined up to post, loss of organisation in the files and more. I sincerely regret going anywhere near Dropbox. This not solved. No one has explained why this happened or how to undo the damage done, the time wasted, and the carnage arising from it I can see having a major impact over the next weeks, possibly months, may be further. Just who the hell thinks Instagram THUMBNAILS are what anyone would sign up to save?
