I've set my iOS camera uploads to add only new photos, but it's trying to re-upload everything.
I went from a iPhone 11 to a iPhone 16 Pro a few months ago. I backed up photos to Dropbox before I moved everything to the new phone. Had issues with the new phone and Apple had me do a full factory...
Hi Walter - thanks for your reply. I have used the Dropbox mobile app for iPhone for years. So I had it on my iPhone 11, and then I had to download it (fresh) from Applications, not from my iCloud, when I had to reset my new iPhone 16.
So you're correct, I see all the old photos and videos from my previous uploads I had done with my iPhone 11 and any previous iPhones. I used to just open up the Dropbox app on my phone, and it would sync with my Photos app and find the ones that it didn't already have in Dropbox, and upload those as "new" to my Dropbox app/Camera Uploads folder. But when I do it now, on my iPhone 16, it seems to think all the photos from the past many years are "new" and I see it trying to sync thousands of photos+videos.
Does that make sense? How can I just get it to do what it used to do, sync with Photos app and only grab what's not already in Dropbox/Camera Uploads?
Thank you!
