Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
New PC, Windows with Swedish language (my old PC had English OS).
Cable-connecting my Anroid/Samsung Galaxy S9 to the PC. I get the Dropbox "splash screen" and choose to Start Import. Then I get an error message (in Swedish, but roughly translated "Upload failed for some photos or vi..." (truncated).
I have checked so the Dropbox account is the same on the PC and Phone.
I have checked that the Phone app is set to backup photos.
There are no Synch issues reported on the Desktop app.
On my old PC I don't recall having an issue like this, and it still imports photos from the phone via cable on the old one.
Feeling a bit stumped at the moment, does anyone have any ideas? I would very much appreciate it. 🙂
(Sorry for Swedish language in the screen captures, but I hope you will recognize them, anyway)
Having the same error mesasage after re-installing and rebooting. 😞
One more question @Ech0M4n.
Are you able to sync the content, and upload them to your account using camera uploads on your mobile, or do they also fail to upload there?

The images do sync (without cable attached) but with some delay, I tried to explain that before. I can live with that my Phones camera sync with Dropbox, which in turn sync to my desktop. I just have to add some patience to my routines, and accept that it takes a little longer. 🙂
Hi @Ech0M4n, I am happy to hear that using Camera uploads on your mobile works for you.
If you wish, we can always troubleshoot the desktop's camera uploads further, by disabling and re-enabling the feature on the app's preferences, under Backup. If this doesn't work either, and you wish for us to look into this further, I can open a ticket on my end for you.
Keep me posted!
