Hi! I need to force the Android app to re-upload all the photos in my gallery.
I set it up so it uploads everything, not just new photos, but it will only upload new items. I believe it recognizes older pics as "already uploaded" and I don't know how to reset this.
I have already:
-re-installed the app
-deleted the cache memory
-deleted all files in the Dropbox camera upload folder
-restarted the device
-even tried from a new device with a different SD card but with the same files in it
Still, Dropbox will only upload new files.
I also tried manually uploading but due to the fÃes being cover 1500, the app never stops processing the files and never uploads anything.
I'm on Android 12 and no other apps are set to
Alrighty then.
She will contact you as well.
Thank you for your message.

Hi - I'd love to get an email with some help, too!
My backup harddrive failed, but the important photos are still on my iPhone. I'd like to force Dropbox to re-import all the photos and videos from a specified date range. Thanks!
Hey @freecaptive6914, thanks for your comment here and sorry to hear about your hard drive.
Resetting your Camera Uploads won't allow you to choose which photos and videos to re-upload, I'm afraid.
It will cause all your photos and videos to re-upload, including any that have already been uploaded.
Is this something you'd like to do?

I would also like to completely reset my camera upload to force dropbox to re-import all of the photos on my phone camera roll.
