Can I backup iPhone photos automatically to BOTH iCloud and Dropbox?

Hi @aldensolo, technically, it should be possible to do so, since they are separate systems on the phone.
Bear in mind, however, that if you have iCloud Photo Library enabled (this is an Apple setting that stores your photos and videos in iCloud), and have its "Optimize iPhone Storage" setting enabled, this will save your full-resolution files in iCloud and store "optimized" versions on your phone.
Since the full-resolution images are stored in iCloud, the "camera uploads" feature needs to connect to the iCloud servers to upload each full-resolution image to Dropbox. This can be a slow process that depends on the strength of the connection to the iCloud servers.
