    Hi there, there isn’t a way to choose which photos can appear in the Photos tab. 
     
    It automatically shows any image on your account, including those in shared folders.
     
    I’ll pass your feedback onto our dev team for their consideration to change this in future.

Elixir suggests "go the Files tab, and browse the folder Camera Uploads." This is an excellent suggestion. However, that folder is inexplicably missing when I view my files. Why? Making it accessible would be the simplest fix for this issue. thanks

    Hey there Karl H.4, 

    If you're navigating through the website or the mobile app and you have the camera uploads feature enabled, you should be able to see it through the Files tab. 

    If you don't see it though or you're unable to access it, please don't hesitate to get back to me with any additional info and screenshots (without personal details) that will allow me to have a better understanding of your concern. 

    Thanks in advance!
