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 ther...

Hi Mark!
Deleting a photo from the Camera Roll on your smartphone or tablet won't delete it from your Dropbox account. This means you can let Camera Upload upload your pictures for you, then delete them from your device to save space.
Also, if you like Camera Upload, make sure to check out our gallery app, Carousel:
Hope this helps! :)

Thanks for the feedback Demtrios.
It would seem like there's at least a couple of scenarios here:
1. Device -> Dropbox: Automatically upload all my photos to Dropbox, and I manually delete the photos on my phone to to save space
2. Device <-> Dropbox: Keep the photos on my device in sync with Dropbox, so that I can delete photos on my device using the application of my choice (File Explorer, Gallery, Camera, Camera Roll, Carousel etc) or directly from DropboxThe scenario that I'm mostly interested in is #2, since the majority of SmartPhone devices in the world have external storage, it's cheap and convenient to add 16GB or 32GB to any non iPhone device with an SD card, so space is less of an issue, but losing the photos is more of an issue. But, if I lost my device, it'd be major hassle to have to sift through all the photos in Camera Upload and reconcile what was deleted on my device.

Is it possible for me to re-synch my photo's from mobile to dropbox? I've synched (almost?) everything, and copy pasted them on my computer and deleted them from my Dropbox. But after checking if I have everything, it seems not everything from my pictures/vids are uploaded/copied. I found out, cause after a while using copy paste twice, I saw the second time it asked me to overwrite them. I chose to skip those and saw it did copied a few things that haven't ... But found out too late, now my dropbox isn't synching anything from my mobile now, except ofc new pics and vids.. Kinda sux, cause my mobile won't connect with my pc to get my photos off of it. So if there any way to re-synch all my pictures and video's again ??

I'm new to uploading from my SD card to my PC... I lost 2 of the pictures I need most on my PC. How can I recover them? I keep trying to reinsert my SD to get them back.
