changing the location of Camera upload folder
While uploading the pictures to Dropbox by default is uploading to Camera upload folder. How can I change the default location as I have 2 Iphone and would like to synchronize the pictures to Dropbo...
All devices linked to your account will upload to the Camera Uploads folder. This cannot be changed, and there is no way to differentiate between the photos/videos uploaded from multiple devices.

Only problem is that this isn't a solution, it is an excuse. I have trouble believing they can't have each device upload to a different folder becuse it can't tell what device is uploading it. I can go on the site and see every device that has ever connected to my DropBox. There is some reason that they don't want to be able to do it. I have my 2 iPhones (both 7 Plus, personal and work) and 2 Android tablets. I can sort them after the fact by model but that still leaves the iphones all garbled together.
- MarkThere is a difference between 'cant' and 'dont'. It would be possible if the software was wrote to do it - which it isnt.
Why not make a Feature Suggestion for it? https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Share-an-idea/ct-p/101002000
- Sounds like lazy coding... customers should be able to choose at least another option or decide rename it for their device.
- Wouldnt it be a simple solution if we had the option to name the folder instead of creating only 1
For families that have more than one person ;) Example
Camera Uploads :
Folder name (we can create on our own (like adults paying for a service the following)
Mom, Dad, Kid 1, Kid 2, or whatever name under camera uploads or simply also decide at the root what camera uploads should be named.
Now My wife's photos and mine are mixed together ... it will take me hours to go through and fix this for a simple update.
