If I delete photos from my camera folder on my phone will they stay in Dropfox Camera Uploads folder?
Hi,
I want to delete photos from my phone to get storage space back. If these have already been synced and in the camera uploads folder in my dropbox they would not get deleted by deleting them on...
If you delete photos from your phone's camera roll, gallery, etc., they will not be deleted from from your Dropbox account. If you delete them from the Dropbox app on your phone, they WILL be deleted from Dropbox, but will stay in your phone's camera roll.
Please can someone tell me how long Dropbox will keep uploaded files/photos for and if the original is deleted from the device it was uploaded from, will it be lost forever? I have uploaded a lot of photos from my phone onto my Dropbox account as my phone has very limited space left. Ideally I'd like to delete these now from my phone but am worried that they'll disappear.
Once the photos are uploaded to the Camera Uploads folder in Dropbox, move them to another folder (for example, mine is called Family Photos). If you have limited space on your device(s), don't sync the Family Photos folder with your PC or phone. They stay safe in Dropbox without taking up space on your device. I only move the photos periodically, whenever they start to pile up on my phone.
