Multiple "Camera uploads" folders with iPhone

Earlier my dropbox worked perfectly on my iPhone but now it has started randomly creating new "Camera Uploads x" and x is running number and uploading photos there. How could I get it to stop it and only use one "Camera uploads" folders? I hate deleted app from my phone once but it didn't help and I have deleted all "Camera Uploads" folders on my dropbox and soon it will create new ones back 😕

    Weird enough I had this problem all the time before but after I posted my question here I haven't seen it anymore. I will continue here if that problem comes back but hopefully it fixed itself now 😄

    Hey there OutoHeppu - thanks for flagging this with us.

     

    Could you clarify the OS version of your device and the version of the Dropbox app installed there as well?

     

    Also, can you send us a screenshot of how those multiple Camera Uploads folders look like on your end?

     

    Thanks so much!
