Android Phone photos "waiting to upload"
OK I take 2 photos yesterday on my G8 Android phone. Get home about 8 o'clock and my phone goes on my wi-fi network. It's now 10AM next day and 2 photos are still "waiting to upload". The blue bar is about halfway across and just sitting there. This happens repeatedly and sometimes it takes days for the photos to sync up and then be available on my desktop or tablet where I also have my Dropbox sync'd. About and hour ago I changed settings to "wi-fi and data" sync and still no sync up.
3.71GB of 8.5GB being used
Why the long delays?
OK after checking all settings and then searching more it seems an update and changed the permissions for the Dropbox app itself. Changed to allow camera, restarted and photos sync'd!

Unfortunately after those uploaded it again refuses to upload. I've had two that for a week have not uploaded and took two more today that are all just sitting there "waiting to upload". One started with the blue bar and then stopped and went back to "waiting to upload". Checked permissions again and they are fine. On home network with strong signal.
So I restarted the phone just to check. The older photos upload immediately. One of the newer ones starts to upload gets 1/3 or 1/2 way and goes back to "waiting to upload" with the other one.
So I restart again. The first one went to 90% the went to "waiting to upload", then it went to 50% and back to "waiting to upload", did that again, and again............seems to be in a loop.
