Hello All,
I've noticed that (for awhile now) after I enabled the "Turn on camera uploads" on my iphone, whenever I had the iOS Dropbox App open, it not only uploaded all the photos in the iphone camera roll (which is what it is suppose to do), but I realized it also uploaded photos in my Mac, to be more specific, it is in my Desktop folder (a dropbox symlink)
To put things in perspective, the symlink is already synced to Dropbox, and all things in there, photos and other files, are already uploaded.
How can I disable this "extra upload" feature and have my iOS only focused on upload the photos in my iPhone only.
Thanks
Sorry I'm confused, where is the symlink on the iPhone or is it on the Mac? Note that Dropbox doesn't support or follow symlinks.
However, Dropbox does now upload photos from the photo albums on the mobile device. So its possible it is pulling them from that. You can change it in the 'Back Up...' menu
