Hi Mattress71, thanks for messaging the Community!
The camera upload feature would automatically upload any photos in the albums selected on your device to the Dropbox site.

Another way of uploading photos is to physically connect your phone to the computer, and enable the camera upload feature in the desktop app.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Since they're already uploaded to your Dropbox account, you should be safe to delete them from your device Mattress71
If you're not sure how it works, you can try it out with a sample file as a test!
