Let me make sure we're on the same page here: if I understand your need correctly, it sounds like you wish to automatically upload your USB content to your Camera uploads folder, am I right?
If not, feel free to correct me, and let me know more!
Camera uploads is a feature that automatically uploads photos from your mobile device to Dropbox.
If you wish to have your USB content there, you'd need to either upload them using our external backup feature, or to upload them first inside the root of your account, and then move them to your Camera uploads folder.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Hi Megan! Yes, I'd like to automatically upload files to Camera Uploads - I used to be able to do this with another USB stick where it would rename the pictures and videos according to the date they were generated, which was really handy (plus Dropbox would remember which ones it had already processed). I already had this working, and now it isn't.

It's also a feature that uploads photos from USB devices you plug in to your computer.

Double check your autoplay settings and make sure it's still set to Import photos and videos (Dropbox).
I've already done this, it still doesn't pick the photos up.
