Camera upload from different phones into different folders
Hello, I have created a new folder "Camera upload Karla" where I want my wifes iPhone to automatically upload photos to. This seems not to be so easy, as Dropbox on a phone will only upload to "Cam...
Hi Bjarn,
Thanks for your feedback.
Currently, this is not possible. All photos uploaded via a Dropbox account go to the same "Camera Upload" folder.
A workaround would be to open an account in her name so that she has her own Camera Upload folder.
I've passed over your request to our teams, thanks for taking the time to give it and stay tuned for the updates!
- Claire - I noticed this thread is from July of 2015. Did this feature get implemented yet? If so, how can I set this up?
Hi,
I'd like to ask whether is there any follow up to this matter? Recently bumped into this problem and saw this was dated close to 2 years ago.
Hope to hear back soon!
Thanks
It is my opinion that Dropbox does not want to do this because they believe that they will sell more accounts this way.
Their answer to this issue has always been "Dropbox was not designed to backup more than one phone at a time. If you want to keep your data seperate you will need to purchase seperate accounts for each phone"
Considering the number of requests for this and the number of years this has been requested this is obviously a marketing decision and has nothing to do with technology or what the customer wants.
Dropbox please prove me wrong. Please show us that you actually care about what the customer wants and not just corporate profits.
There are some moderately functional alternatives to do this for Android but unfortunatley none for the iPhone (I don't think Apple would allow a program in the iStore that could possibly take sales away from iCloud storage).

Actually Mike in my opinion I think its more to do with the fact they are totally moving away from photos and anything to do with them (e.g. removal of albums etc.)
However, yes, I agree that the security thing is a big issue - Dropbox have always been exceptionally strict on one user = one account which isnt really that unreasonable.
