When using camera uploads, does deleting a photo from camera roll also delete it from Dropbox?
I really like the idea of Camera Upload, but why when I delete a photo from my phone via my Camera or Gallery view, does this not also delete the photo from my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder? Is there any plan to address this?Solved13KViews0likes11Comments- 7.8KViews4likes2Comments
Is there a way for emptying Camera Upload without having it delete from everywhere it has synced?
I had camera upload functioning, without realising how much space it takes on dropbox. I have now disabled it, so it won't auto upload and sync. I will now manually download photos, etc. However, I tried deleting from camera upload, and it deletes from iPhoto. Is there a way fo emptying Camera Upload without having it delete from everywhere it has synced? CheersSolved5.2KViews0likes11Comments
Screenshot pop up remove
Hello i have a question about the screenshot pop up that appears when you take a screenshot. In the previous version of the desktop app when i taked a screenshot i get a smal bubble with a messege that i have added a screenshot to my dropbox, but it didn`t bother me. Now i get the same messege but notised that now it`s in a big blackrectangle and itannoys me when i take a shot of somthing. So my question is how to remove it from showing, don`t see options about it.4.9KViews0likes8CommentsPlease can someone help me understand the difference between Camera Uploads and Timeline Photos
Hello. My husband is fed up with me huffing and puffing (and ok screeching) at the computer 😄 I just want to know if the Camera Uploads holds the same photos as the Timeline? I am trying to sync the photos on the timeline to my desktop app but it will only sync the Camera Uploads. On the website there are more photos on my Timeline than in my Camera Uploads. Is there a way to merge the Camera Uploads with the Timeline photos? Ultimately I am wanting to download from everywhere andmerge all my photos in one place and then use an app to find duplicates, sort and organise all my pix. Can someone explain it to me like I'm a newbie please 😄 Thank you!Solved4.8KViews0likes5CommentsIPhone X Videos Shot in High Efficiency (HEIC) Format are Blank with Sound
There are other similar threads about this but I'm starting a new one because this issue is still not fixed and it should be becasue users rely on Dropbox to serve their most precious information - family photos and video 🙂 When backing up the iOS photo library to Camera Uploads any video shot using the High Efficiency (HEIC) format in iOS cannot be played on the web or any HTML5 player. There is sound but no video. If I was to copy the same video from my iPhone directly to my computer the video is able to be played so the issue is during the Camera Uploads process. I have built desktop applications that allow users to browse their entire Dropbox directory, play and share videos and now their libraries (including mine) are full of blank videos. Please resolve this issue.4.2KViews0likes5CommentsAutomatic Photo Uploads From IPhone?
I recently upgraded my Dropbox to have the capacity to store all the photos that have been living on my iPhone. I connected to DropBox and have had 2 issues: 1) Though my phone (which I got in 2017) has photos going all the way back to 2010, it only uploads photos going back to 2017. I think (but am not yet certain) that it's only syncing the photos that were taken on this phone. 2) Every time I plug in the phone it uploads more photos - but all from the same 2017-2019 period. Each time I leave the phone plugged in until it quits uploading. So I'm not sure if the photos are i) re-uploading, ii) uploading in a different format (JPG vs. HEIC), iii) not uploading (i.e., the messages are false - which I think is unlikely), or iv) that some photos have been missed in the past upload. Let me know if you have any guidance... I tooled around the past questions but my Dropbox app (which I just downloaded onto my phone) is different than the one described in some of the older responses. Thanks in advance, /ASolved3.7KViews0likes8Comments
I can't see the camera uploads folder on Windows
I have been using dropbox for near 10 years and always have uploaded all photos from my IOS device automatically. Always have been able to manage them from a desktop Mac. However, I now use a PC Win10 and I no longer see the camera upload folder. All files and folders appear EXCEPT "camera uploads". I have it set to download and sync all files localy on my mac, but not sure of the compatable setting on PC. I rarely use the browser to manage files as it seems to be much slower than direct manipulation. Am I missing something or is the Win10 version NOT capable of seeing the "camera upload" folder?Solved3.5KViews0likes3CommentsCamera Sync Very Slow
Latest version of Android on Galaxy S9+ w/Latest version of Dropbox on mobile (272.2.6). I've setup Camera Sync to the Camera Uploads dropbox folder and it has worked for years - yet - Camera sync to dropbox works 'sometimes'. Usually, it will not sync unless I load the camera app and actually view the camera gallery from the camera app. And even then, it takes a very long time (up to hours?) for the files to sync from the Camera DCIM folder to the Dropbox Camera Uploads folder. I've searched the web and forums, but can't find any solutions... Things I've done: 1. Dropbox App Settings (Settings>Apps>Dropbox) - Verified thatBackground Restrictions setting (set >Allow Background data usage set to on, allow app while data saver on, set to on). - Verified Allow Background Activity is set to on (on, but greyed out) 2. Permissions: Camera, Contacts & Storage 3. Storage set in Camera App to SD Card/DCIM/Camera Uploads Folder 4. Data Saver turned off 5. In Dropbox App - Mobile Data and Mobile Data only apps turned on for Dropbox and Dropbox Sync. - Use data for offline files turned on. - Dropbox app, camera uploads turned on - include videos (on), Use data when offline (on), Background restrictions (no, battery optimization for dropbox turned OFF). - Photo backup turned on - Backup ALL my photos What am I missing?Solved2.3KViews0likes3Comments
