Thanks for the info, currently, it isn't possible to specify which folder you want to upload from, as the mobile app detects all images on your device.
As a workaround, you could try uploading via the Android file file system by choosing the images you want, and then using the send/share button on your OS choose the option 'Add to Dropbox'.

I asked for manual upload. This is when I click on upload and on files wanting to find a specific image in my phone. Hopeless task. The auto load has obliterated any semblance of structure in my photos. I don't seem able to opt out of this. In Instagram this is gallery, and is equally arbitrary and utterly useless, but at least I can opt for Camera, or Google photos or down loads etc. On the laptop it is only offering the internal picture storage , so I would have to download, file, open Dropbox, upload to get access. Thought it was meant to be easy.
