Camera uploads organizing: adding folders in that folder.
I need to know specifically how to organize photos and videos in the CAMERA UPLOAD folder.
If for example i create a VIDEO folder in the CAMERA UPLOADS folder while on my DESKTOP PC and then move all movie extensions to it, will that sync so that my ONLINE Dropbox copy of CAMERA UPLOADS looks the same (would both now have a folder called VIDEO containing all the movies)?
Second, IF I DO the above, will dropbox then sync those same files back in from my phone (assuming it does not see them as they are in a new folder within CAMERA UPLOADS called VIDEO) or, does it only import into the dropbox CAMERA UPLOAD folder the new photos i take with my phone?
Thank you
A third possibility is that it is allowing creating of the new folder called VIDEO in to the folder called CAMERA UPLOADS but not actually moving those items. Just showing them in there....

Hey DB11465 let's jump right into this!
Your camera uploads can automatically add photos and videos from your camera, phone, or tablet to Dropbox. Your photos and videos are then available and viewable from anywhere in your Dropbox account.
You can create a folder within your camera uploads folder, but that can be useful if you wish to move content there. Meaning that your videos won't get automatically uploaded there, but in your original "camera uploads" folder.
Any changes you make using your mobile app, website or desktop app to your account, should be reflected to all three.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know!
