Camera Uploads - Back Up - All Photos vs New Photos Only
Camera Uploads - Back Up - All Photos vs New Photos Only
I have just uploaded all my photos from my iphone into dropbox using the camera upload/back up/all photos option. I am going to delete all the photos from my phone now I have done this.
I don't understand what the difference is for the 2 settings of 'All Photos' and 'New Photos Only' and which one I need going forward.
What happens if I leave this setting at 'All Photos'? Do I need to change it to 'New Photos Only' so that it is only new photos that are uploaded from here on?
Thank you.
Hi Anna C.22
Deleting the photos on the device wont delete them from Dropbox - just make sure they HAVE actually uploaded first 🙂
In terms of the setting you dont need to change anything. The difference is simply a way of saying 'upload only photos from this point forward' OR 'upload everything'. The first one would be used if you, for example, set up a new device and used a backup to set it up and had already put everything on Dropbox.

Thank you very much for your help.
