The Photos tab and Albums tabs are just web pages created from your files.

Dropbox StaffHi there,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Any photos located in the Camera or Screenshots folders of your device´s photo app will upload to your Dropbox. Once they´re uploaded you will find them in your Photos tab. From here, you have the option to add them to an Album of your choice. To do so, please follow below steps:
- Sign in to your dropbox.com.
- Click on Photos tab on the left.
- Select the photo.
- Right click and choose ´Add to album´.
Please note, if you delete the photo from the Photos tab the image will be deleted in your Album. If however, you remove it from the Album it will not delete in the Photos tab.
Hope this clarifies! Let us know if you need anything else. :)
Thanks,
Vivian
OK thanks. So my last question,(probably not), is this. I see the photos are in the camera upload file folder, under the files tab. The same photos are then in the photos folder. If I then add one of those same photos to an album, is that one photo using three times the storage space? (camera upload, photos, then specific album) Do I need to delete all the photos in the camera upload file folder or does deleting them there also delete them from the photo folder.
