    Hey LP58, thanks for your post!

     

    Are you trying to upload your photos through the Dropbox mobile app?

     

    If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll need to select each photo/video for upload, as there's no way to select all.

     

    However, you can use our camera uploads feature, which will automatically upload your photos/videos to Dropbox and you can also choose where you'd like to upload from.

     

    You can see more info and steps on how to do this here.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    The iOS app uses Apple's photo picker to upload photos, and this includes a gesture to select multiple photos at once without having to tap on each one by dragging across the photos with 2 fingers. For example, drag from the top-left corner with 2 fingers and move your fingers to the bottom of the screen. Hold them there and it will select all of the available photos.
