Why can't I upload more than 1 photo to Dropbox from an iPhone or iPad?
Why can I only upload one photo at a time from my iPad or iPhone to Dropbox? As soon as I check more than one photo, the Dropbox icon disappears.
- As long as you have a new version of the app you can.
You tap the big + button, upload photos and then tap on the ones you want it to upload.
Ever figure this out? I'm currently having he same problem.

What if I have more than 5000 photos in different albums that I’d like to upload? Sure as hell I won’t tap on individual photos...
Why couldn’t Dropbox just let the iOS photo system handle the uploading, because there it is possible to ”Select All” in an album.- Jane

I hope that this is helpful to you Petr & I’m always here in case you’d like more uploading tips & tricks. Happy Friday!

Selecting a different album removes the Select All option and you're back to selecting one image at a time.
Also, the Select All option is only available for photos taken on a given day. In other words, Select All appears for each group of photos separated by date, and you still have to tap Select All for each group of photos that you want to upload. It's not a true Select All option.
- Hi,
The ability to upload multiple media images/videos via Dropbox is clear. This however, creates major inconvenience when there’s a need to keep going through the images from the last uploaded batch. In other words, as one of the other users mentioned, we should be able to control the uploads from the photo album of the device by selecting multiple images/videos > Select to upload into Dropbox (when currently the app icon disappears when more than one image is selected) > Dropbox should launch to provide the option to go to the desired folder and create folders for the batch being uploaded. When done, the app should close and we are now back to the last image that was selected for the upload via the photo album.- Jane
- Hi Jane, thank you for the reply, this certainly solved the issue for the most part. However, after selecting the photos > “Save to files” and all folders appear, the only obstacle left to resolve is the inability to create new folders/Subfolders right from the same screen (window) without having to open the app (DropBox in my case) and swing back and forth each time new folders/Subs are needed for different photo batches.
