    Hi mtkrimi, thanks for posting today.

     

    It is possible to upload Live Photos by enabling that option in the Videos section of the camera upload settings.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Hi oldmax, could you attach a screenshot of what you're seeing on the camera uploads > videos option?

      i am having the exact same issue.   live photos back up, but when saved and then re-viewed, they are only static photos.  can they be backed up as live photos?

        I haven’t found a solution for this and Dropbox hasn’t addressed it. I have to have Live Photos so I’ll be cancelling and moving on.
