    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.

I have multiple mobile devices at home. I would like the dropbox "camera upload" feature to sync to different "camera upload folders" from each device, and ideally beable to specify this folder name and location.

    People have been asking for this for years. It's unlikely to happen, unfortunately.
