How do you backup the motion pictures to Dropbox?

Hi, 

I have the dropbox app installed in my Pixel backing all my photos and videos.

How do you backup the motion pictures WITH the motion to dropbox?

So far only the jpeg gets uploaded. When I look at them in the dropbox folder in my computer or online there is no video. So I can't delete the motion photos from my phone because I don't want to loose the motion part, but I need to delete them if I want more storage in my phone. 

Thanks

    Hey there brachiosaurus, how are you doing today?

    Have you tried to upload and share Android Motion Photos via the Dropbox mobile app using the steps below? 

    • Open the Dropbox mobile app.
    • Tap + (add).
    • Tap Upload photos and videos.
    • Select a Motion Photo from your Android Gallery. Motion Photos will look like regular photos when selected, but they’ll be uploaded in the correct format.
    • Tap the down arrow and select where you’d like your Motion Photo to be added.
    • Tap Set location.
    • Tap upload.

    Keep me posted!
