Hey Ethan11, 

 

Welcome on the Dropbox Community!

 

You may keep in mind that, should you use the Camera Uploads functionality to upload your videos, the originals remain on your phone gallery intact, so you'll have to manually remove your videos locally from your phone to free up some space. 

 

I hope this helps you clarify the matter! If you need additional details or assistance, please keep me updated in your reply, I'd be glad to follow-up! 

 

Warm regards, 
Jane
