How to manually upload content saved on my phone, from third-party apps using the mobile app?
I used to have an iPhone, and it seems that the iPhone puts all pictures regardless of their source into the same folder, and the dropbox app automatically backs that up to the Camera Uploads.
...
I havent created any folders, it just happens automatically, it always has. But I'm not opposed to creating folders if needed.
I havent tried manually uploading the content, I don't even know how to do that (but I'm not opposed to doing that if necessary) - I just want it to happen automatically as I slowly add things to those folders on my phone by saving into them from their respective apps.
I'm a mixture high and low experience at this, with unexplained holes in my knowledge.

Dropbox StaffHi DukeOfURL, in general, only the Camera roll and Screenshots folders should be backed up when using the automated camera upload feature. If other albums or folders are backed up, it might be to with how they're stored on your device.
Currently, it isn't possible to add other folders to be backed up, nor to have the upload to different locations or folders on the Dropbox site.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
