    All devices linked to your account will upload to the Camera Uploads folder. This cannot be changed, and there is no way to differentiate between the photos/videos uploaded from multiple devices.

Hey Everyone

 

It would be nice if we could change the location of Camera Uploads in our phones APPs.

 

There are many senarios it would be good:

 

a) People that want diferent king of organization in their dropbox

 

b) People that want to hide this kind of stuff

 

c) People that share a dropbox account

 

Etc,

 

Can you please add this option in the future?

 

Thanks in advance

and is a reason why it isn't our go-to enterprise backup tool.

Remember that Dropbox is not a backup utility and really shouldn't be used as one. Yes, it has some backup-like functionality, but if you're using it specifically as a backup service then you're using the wrong tool. There are far better services out there that are meant specifically for cloud backup.
