Hi Jay,
Thanks for the message.
My goal would actually be to re-upload a large portion of photos from my iPhone, given that the backup is not on Dropbox and neither on my laptop. Could you let me know if there is a why where I could just select a portion of photos to be re-uploaded?
My understanding was that it is not possible to re-upload the pictures after they have been uploaded once (even if this happened a long time ago), but I am not fully sure. If that is the case, I would be ok to re-upload the entire folder of photos from my iPhone; I would then be able to extract the missing photos from the entire folder.
Thank you,
Max
