Hi Keolatina09, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

Could you clarify what you're experiencing in more detail, as I'm not sure what the issue is in this case?

 

Are photos being uploaded from the camera incorrectly somehow? Are you not able to locate them on the site?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Thanks for the info, have you been using the automatic camera uploads feature on the Dropbox desktop application, or have you been transferring the images manually to your computer?

        If you're transferring manually, could you try moving the files from the camera into another folder entirely, and once they're all copied over, move those images into the Dropbox folder?
