Re: Camera upload from different phones into different folders

Camera upload from different phones into different folders

Hello,
I have created a new folder "Camera upload Karla" where I want my wifes iPhone to automatically upload photos to.
This seems not to be so easy, as Dropbox on a phone will only upload to "Camera Upload" folder. Is this correct?
How can I make her iPhone upload automatically to the new folder?
Thank you

This is such a needed feature. It is such a pain to have photos from all devices jumbled together in the same folder! Please, Dropbox, add this feature! As a software engineer, I know it can't be that difficult to add this as a setting in the app!

Yes. It doesn't have to be complicated, and by all means keep it a feature only on the paid version - the ability to upload & sync from each of your own devices to separate named folders in your own dropbox account.

If you don't want to wait for Dropbox to implement this (and that could be a long time), you can get this functionality & lots more with the PhotoSync app, available for iOS & Android

It's a very important feature. I have a mix of photos in the Camera Upload folder, not easy to organize. Will be good if we can upload to an specific subfolder or just if Dropbox create a folder for each smartphone in the Camera Upload folder.

Need more support?
