    Hello everyone,

     

    In order to fix Camera Uploads for your devices please make sure you have tried the following:

     

    1) Install the latest Dropbox app on your device.

     

     

    2) Enable / Reset Camera Uploads on your computer

     

     

    Mac

    • Click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar at the top of the screen and then click on the gear in the Notifications panel
    • Choose "Preferences".
    • Go to the "Import" tab.
    • Uncheck and check again "Enable camera uploads for".

     

     

    Windows

     

    • Click the Dropbox icon in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen and then click on the gear in the Notifications panel.
    • Select "Preferences".
    • In the window that appears, click on "Change AutoPlay Settings".
    • In the AutoPlay settings, scroll down and choose the camera you want to change settings for. It will likely have "Import pictures and video using Dropbox" as the default.
    • Click on the drop-down menu and choose "Ask me every time" or choose a different application for importing.
    •  

    This will reset your Camera Uploads settings for all your devices. When you connect a device, Dropbox will ask you if you want to import pictures from it.

     

    Note:

     

    • Android devices: Select Connect as a Disk Drive from the status bar
    • iOS devices: Unlock the device to allow camera uploads to continue

     

    3) Enable / Reset Camera Uploads on your mobile device

     

    iOS

     

    - Open the Dropbox app, go to the “Recents” tab and tap the gear icon
    - Under the Settings heading, select Camera Uploads
    - You can enable or disable the automatic camera uploads feature, as well as the option to allow the feature to use cellular data or not. Please note that videos will not be automatically uploaded over cellular data.

     

     

    Android

     

    - Open the Dropbox app
    - Tap on the menu button
    - Tap the gear icon
    - Under Camera Upload, select “Turn on Camera Upload"
