uploading to dropbox from a Xiaomi Redmi 4A
I've been trying to get it to auto upload or sync with my account, but unlike my earlier Samsungs, I can't find how to do it.
I have a full account, and the app is on my phone and PC.

Hey Kev B.1, thanks for your detailed reply & the screenshots...
Hmmm... :thinking: Sounds odd! Would you mind uninstalling the application & re-installing once & see if this helps you enable the feature correctly?
If you're still unable to turn Camera Uploads on, please keep me updated here, since we'll need to investigate further!Thanks!
- MarkSuper User IITo get auto upload to work you'll need to make sure you have a Dropbox app installed on your phone. Have you installed one yet for an app store?

Yes as I already said I have the app installed.
- MarkSuper User IIYou said you had an app, you didnt say it was Dropbox's own. Samsung are very well known for adding their own versions of the apps which are often bug ridden. Its possible other manufacturers do the same.
So, now if its not working we need some info as to WHY it isnt working - whats happening? How you trying to do it etc.

Have the same problem on my XIaomi Mi 5s.
Also have the same problem with antoter cload storage app which account I have - yandex.disc - also does not auto-sync my photos.
On my previos android phones (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, LG G3) both apps worked correktly.
