Can 'camera uploads' upload photos only from my camera folder?
Hi, is there a way to automatically backup my camera roll from Android to Dropbox? I only want to backup the photos I take but cannot stop it from uploading every photo in every folder. 😔
- 4 years agoHi ThaiBill, there isn't isn't a way to disable the backup of the screenshots in the automatic camera uploads feature, as it is included by default.
If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!

Camera Upload works fine on my Samsung Note 8 - but photos sent to me by MMS don't seem to be included. Does anyone know how this might be automated?

Hey hg23, thanks for posting your question to our Community.
At the moment, you can only upload photos and videos from your Gallery/Camera roll and your screenshots through Camera Uploads.
If you want, you can manually upload the photos you receive by MMS, by following the steps here.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hannah,
Thanks for the response -- sorry to hear there's no solution from Dropbox. Do you happen to know how it could be requested as a future enhancement?

You can post an idea on our idea board about this, if you want, and if other users think it's useful and up-vote it, our team might consider making it a possibility.
