And what settings on the iPhone Dropbox app and Macbook app should I have to use my Dropbox Camera uploads as storage?
I want to connect my phone to the laptop (e.g., once a month) to drop all the photos there and then delete them from the phone. Will they be safe in Dropbox after deleting? Or will this folder (Camera uploads) sync and mirror my Photos app?
Hi @Mark
And what settings on the iPhone Dropbox app and Macbook app should I have to use my Dropbox Camera uploads as storage?
I want to connect my phone to the laptop (e.g., once a month) to drop all the photos there and then delete them from the phone. Will they be safe in Dropbox after deleting? Or will this folder (Camera uploads) sync and mirror my Photos app?
Masha-C, hope it's OK to jump in.

You can turn on camera uploads on your desktop app with these steps.
\n\n
Only after all your photos have been successfully uploaded to your Dropbox app and it shows as up to date, you can go ahead and delete them from your mobile device. Doing this won't affect the photos that have been saved on your Dropbox account, as it's not syncing to the Photos app on your phone.
\n\n
Hope this helps!
