Upload a Photo Album from iPhone to Dropbox

How can you upload just one photo album to Dropbox from iPhone? I would like to just get my Favorites album uploaded to Dropbox.   Is there a way to either 1. select a whole album for upload or 2....

    You should be able to open the iPhone app.
    Click on the big +
    Click 'Upload Photos'
    That defaults to the camera roll, but, if you click on the word 'Camera Roll' at the top you can change it to another album.
    There you simply click on each photo you want to upload (you do need to click each one I'm afraid) and then press 'Upload'.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, when I click on the big + button, then uploads, the next option is to choose an album and my only choices are: all photos, instagram, dropbox, and snapchat. Not sure why it doesn't show all my albums. The only option I am seeing is to hunt for my 2,000 favorites hidden amongst the 30,000 photos in the "all photos" album... seems like there should be a much more efficient option :/

    What Mark suggested should work. If you are not seeing this option, please try reinstalling the Dropbox app. If the problem persists, please feel free to reach out to support on https://www.dropbox.com/support.
