Photos uploading on phone even though Camera Uploads is turned off.

I've had Camera Uploads turned off on my iPhone for Dropbox for several months, and yet I noticed today every photo in my iPhone library is showing up in Dropbox Photos, even deleted photos. I can't find any other setting to turn this off. Any ideas why this is happening and how to stop it?

    Hi oldmandance, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Is the camera-uploads setting currently set to off? 

     

    Would you mind clarifying the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version that you have installed on the device? 

     

    Let me know more!
