Android - camera uploads progress bar missing

Why is the the upload progress bar is missing on camera uploads? I have no idea if the upload is complete, stuck, still going... no feedback whatsoever, it's just happening in the background.

Not to mention I have to launch the Dropbox app to trigger camera uploads. Poor.

It's all so broken these days.

Samsung S9+ on Android 9.0, all up to date.

Edit: I've found it, in 'Photos'.

 

Having to open Dropbox to start uploads is still the case however.

    Have you enabled background uploading by any chance?

      Appears to work erratically. I'll keep an eye on it and return if I notice it happening again...
