Hi Ktplotts thanks for posting!

 

You could indeed try to simply download the Dropbox app on your wife's mobile, sign in with your account and then enable the camera uploads feature there as well. However, with this method, photos from both phones will be uploaded to the same folder which might be something that you do not want.

 

The other option you mentioned, purchasing the Family plan, is also a good one as each of you will be able to upload your photos on either account and on a separate folder.

 

Let me know which one would work best for you!
