You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
With multilpe users on my dropbox account, I need a feature where I can select which folder mobile uploads are directed to. My wife and I both use our phones for work, and we take a lot of pictures. ...

Dropbox StaffHey there craigvs - how are you today?
From what I understand you'd like to designate a folder for your automatic camera uploads for each of your devices.
The current way that the automatic camera uploads feature works is to upload all the photos from your connected devices into the default Camera Uploads folder.
This is because we treat your Dropbox account as one account where it makes sense that you would want all your photos to be in one location. There isn't a way currently to have each device upload into its own Dropbox folder using the automatic Camera Upload feature.
Since this is not an option at the moment, I am passing your comments along to our developers as a feature request - thank you for the feedback Craig.
In the meantime, you can manually upload photos and videos to any location with your Dropbox account and offline them as well if needed.
I hope this helps to some extent and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. Thank you!
Thanks Walter. This would be a good feature to add as I've seen this question being asked quite a lot online.

Thanks for the reply and additional input craigvs - I appreciate it.
As I understand how this would be useful to many of our users, I went ahead and put your feature request in our list - thank you for your valuable feedback.
If you have any more suggestions, questions or even feedback to share with us, please feel free to reach out Craig.
Happy Monday too!
I vote for that too - Camera Uploads is fine for a default but each device should be able to pick an upload folder.
