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 fíes 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

Hi!

I also would like to re-upload all photos from my iPhone and my wife iPhone as some of our backup photos are missing from our hard drive. Could you please let me know how to start the photos upload from zero?

Thank you for your time.

Hey @C-22, thanks for your comment as well.

 

Are both of those devices linked to the same Dropbox account? Your account?

Hey Hannah

Hope everything is going well with you.

We have an account each, so there's two accounts.

Hey @C-22, if this is regarding two different Dropbox accounts, your wife will need to contact us from her account as well.

 

Regarding your own account, are we okay to send you an email?

 

As for you @eitanas1, I just replied back to you, so make sure to check your email.
