Trying to keep folder structure when backing up from phone to Dropbox
With my Dropbox subscription I setup my phone app to make backup of all my files I selected, no matter internal or external storage BUT, the problem I'm facing since I enabled this feature long time ...

Hi lordphilippe, the camera uploads feature locates all images in the camera roll and screenshots folder on your mobile device, and then uploads and renames the files to the same naming format.
There are no folder structures saved during this process, and currently there isn't an option to do so.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hello.
Thanks for your prompt answer. Actually, the folder name where the files end up right now in the cloud is the default one: Camera Uploads (the layout image shown below was in another language and was translated to english).
I'm using the automatic Camera Uploads feature to send the Camera roll and Screenshots folders to my account.
Regards.

I cant overstate how much this could really use improvement.
Many people including myself (from what i've read online) create albums to organize photos on their phone. The fact that dropbox doesnt allow for keeping the folder structure is a real reason to not use it at all, and use some other kind of cloud storage.
hoping someone will get on this bug, thanks
