Camera Uploads on 2 different phones
My husband and I are currently syncing photos in our phones into dropbox automatically . Is there a way to create two seperate folders, one for him and one for me because it gets so confusing with b...
No, that's not possible. All devices linked to an account will upload to the same Camera Uploads folder.
You could create two folders and move your photos to your own folder as soon as you're done uploading, leaving the Camera Uploads folder empty until the next upload.
This must have changed. My photos went to Camera Uploads and husband's photos used to go to a shared folder called Camera Uploads from John until Dec 28 2018 when we both got new phones.

Nothing has changed. More than likely you were using two different Dropbox accounts and John simply shared his Camera Uploads folder with you. Now, it would seem by your message, you're both signed into the same account on your phones.
When using the same Dropbox account, there's no way to separate Camera Uploads by device. They will always go to the Camera Uploads folder.
- This is a problem and it is clear to me that Dropbox is concerned with the revenue model and being able to limit users. For example I could create 20 sub folders for all of my neighbours but there must be a way to limit sub folders to a reasonable amount that doesn’t offend the revenue model, come on Dropbox, we need a solution or maybe just pay for iCloud is the only way to go.
