iPhone camera roll won't sync, Dropbox is demanding access to ALL photos all of a sudden?
My iPhone was sync'ing the camera roll to Dropbox for several years - no issues. All of a sudden I noticed that it doesn't sync them anymore. The error message says it needs permissions to access all...
Thank you, that worked, but why do I need to now allow full access to my photo library just to upload camera roll photos? It worked for years correctly, without full acccess - only access to roll. Why did it stop working - what changed that I now have to allow access to the whole library? I know I checked the Roll option after, but still, I had to give this app access to all photos in the OS, which I don't like.

Dropbox StaffHi Michael L.80, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try disabling and re-enabling the camera upload feature to see what options you get?
Keep me posted!
ok I did that - disabled access, re-enabled. For some reason this web page won't let me upload the screenshot. The options I see: None, Limited Access, Full access. How do I indicate just camera roll?

Could you attach a screenshot showing this message you're seeing on your device?
