The most ridiculous part is that when the phone is plugged in AND charging, it still doesn't work. What nonsense is this? We're talking a few lines of code....

Being forced to attach the charger just because you need to quickly access a picture on your computer isn't the most user friendly behavior.

Bump. I think users should be able to define the minimum battery percentage to stop camera uploads.

I have an upgraded battery in my samsung s3 and can run without a charge for over 5 days, and below 25% for over 2 days. How can this feature be disabled. Early charging of my phone can cause battery life loss over time.

Bump. Can we please get the battery cutoff for camera uploads user defined?!

People have been complaining about this issue for years! Seriously, how much longer do we have to wait? Treat users like adults and these problems could be avoided.

I am seriously going to ditch Dropbox if this feature is not added. I have also referred multiple businesses to use your service professionally.

я сам не смог перевести то, что написал :) на самом деле, почему dropbox не даёт мне выгрузить фото при низком заряде батареи? иногда это очень необходимо.
I had not been able to translate what I wrote :) Actually, why not give me dropbox upload photos when the battery is low? Sometimes it is very necessary - Joe M.50New member | Level 1
This is very annoying. I see that upload is also suspended while battery is low (AND charging!).
It is my device and thus my choice. By all means, add a "are you sure? your phone may die!" warning - but it's outrageous to refuse advanced users this level of control.
