Please 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 t...
The timeline, or Photos page, is just a display of all the images from every folder in your account, including the Camera Uploads folder. It's a way to view your images; nothing more.
The Camera Uploads folder is where photos are uploaded when you've enabled the automatic upload feature on your mobile device, or the import feature on the Dropbox client on your comptuer.
Thank you Rich! If I delete an image from the Timeline does it also disappear from the CU folder as well (and vice versa)? Also, if I upload all the photos from my phone, will it automatically skip the duplicates (I don't know which photos I have already uploaded because I have turned autoupload off and on over the past few months).

Yes it will - even if you have deleted them from Dropbox it wont re-upload :)
