    I reinstalled the android app, and it appears to be working for me again.  I am still trying to find the perfect solution for automatically moving pictures from android to dropbox.

Hey D K.7, welcome to our community!

Are you talking about our Camera Uploads feature? Is your S4 using Android OS 4.1 or newer? Please give a much detail as you can surrounding this issue. 

Also, please make sure that you’re using the latest version of our mobile app, currently 72.2. 

Let me know. 
Thanks!

      Hey D K.7, 

      Thanks for getting back to me. Are you using the Camera Uploads feature?
       
      If so, can you tell me if all photos aren’t being uploaded, or certain ones/types? 

      Also, can you see if photos upload when set to Wifi Only (in our app’s Camera Uploads How to upload settings), and if they upload when set to Wifi or Data plan, and let me know? 
       
      Cheers

        I'm having the issue issue. Note 8, Android 7.1.1, settings set to upload on wifi and data and uploads is turned on. Unless I go into the app and then it looks for new photos, it doesn't upload. What can I do?
