Not all iPhone photos are syncing in Camera Uploads

I have Camera Uploads set up to sync all photos and videos from my iPhone. I am noticing there are older photos and videos from 2020 that are not being brought over. How can this be fixed?

That would take several hours to pick out what went through and what did not. Plus the naming convention is off, and the timestamps are wrong marked today rather than when they were created.

Hi MeeshLSU, are there any differences with the older photos and videos? Are they Live Photos on your device?

    It's a mix: live (heic), jpg, and mp4.

      Thanks for the info, if certain images aren't being uploaded automatically, then you'd need to search for them and manually upload them via the Dropbox mobile app onto your account.

        This is an unacceptable answer:
