Can anyone please assist me in resetting my Camera Upload settings?

Can anyone please assist me in resetting my Camera Upload settings?  I have uploaded some a LONG time ago, but want to do one big purge from my phone and start fresh with Camera Uploads in Dropbox, capturing EVERYTHING in my photos folder in my iPhone.

    Hey there, angelahaley, I hope you're doing well!

     

    I'd be more than happy to help! 

     

    However, in order for us to achieve that, we'd need to switch to ticket so that I can gather some more info, and specialized tools in order to assist you. 

     

    Can I send you an email, and continue our convo there? 

     

    Let me know!

      Hi Sillebille,

      When you say by resetting your camera uploads, are you trying to enable your phone’s camera upload in Settings so you can automatically backup either your existing phone photos/videos or just upcoming new ones? Let me know if that is the case.

      Thank you

    Hi angelahaley,

    By purging did you mean that you wanted all your phone’s photos/videos be automatically backed up to your Dropbox cloud and that you can delete the original files from your phone to free up your mobile’s storage space and give room for new ones?
    Let me know if that is the case.

    Thank you

      Yes, I ended up adding another "family account" to my main Dropbox account that was a fresh start.  The camera upload completed in 2 days and says it's complete, but only 1940ish of 38k images are showing up in my camera uploads folder in Dropbox... what gives?  I'm so fed up with this! What am I even paying for??
