Automatic Photo Uploads From IPhone?
I recently upgraded my Dropbox to have the capacity to store all the photos that have been living on my iPhone. I connected to DropBox and have had 2 issues:
1) Though my phone (which I got in...
I got it to work - the underlying issue is that I think the original sync was interrupted but the phone didn't register that it'd been interrupted and thus thought all the photos had uploaded. In a nutshell - I solved the problem by toggling upload on/off on both my computer and my iPhone. That reset everything and the upload went fine. If you need my email chain with support (that provides more detail), I can send it your way.

No, that won't be necessary Aurelioaustria - just thanks for letting us know what did the trick for you after all!
I'm happy to hear you managed to resolve your concern by toggling the Camera Uploads switch to off and on again.
Should you ever come up with a Dropbox question or an issue, don't hesitate to let us know; we're always a post away :wink:
Have a lovely day!
Hi there,
Same issue -could you send me the email that helped solve your issue?
Dropbox says there are over 3000 photos that have to upload. When I toggled on/off it just set to zero and now slowly counting up again, currently on 57 photos that have to be uploaded. I just cant get it all done and then it stops spontaneously.
Thanks
