Automatic photo backup

My photos aren't any longer being uploaded to Dropbox automatically from my Samsung Android phone. I can't work out what's changed and how to get the uploads to start again without having to select photos individually. Can anyone help please?

    Hi MCCExeter, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you try disabling and re-enabling the camera upload feature on your device to see if this helps?

     

    Keep me updated with any progress!

      I've turned it off and on again.... I'll check tomorrow to see if the electrons have started buzzing and let you know.
