Camera uploads want to upload the entire content after Android to iPhone migration.

so.... i just moved from Android to Iphone.
All the pics from my old android were moved over to my iphone in the migration. Want to backup any NEW pics I have on my iphone to dropbox. HOWEVER, when I turn on the feature it wants to upload ALL the photos on my Iphone camera roll (which have already been uploaded over the YEARS from my android).
Seems to be no way to turn on auto upload from my new iphone without it uploading all the photos in the camera roll (which are already saved on my dropbox from when they were on my android). Any suggestions?

    In the Dropbox app on iPhone, tap Account, then Camera Uploads, and change Backup up... from All photos to New photos only.
