    Hey Martyn, sorry to jump in here, but I just want to clarify that we have recently made a change to the Dropbox Android mobile application that has removed the "Albums" from the Photos tab. This change didn’t remove photos or videos you’ve uploaded to the app. 

    You can still find your uploaded photos and videos in the Photos tab or at  dropbox.com/photos

    For this and more common fixes for the Android app, you can check out this Help Center article. 

    I hope this helps!

Hey Piggy75, thanks for joining our Community!

Are you referring to the Dropbox app on your phone? And do you have an Android phone?

Do you still see your photos in the 'photos' tab?

Keep me posted!
