When you're on the Photos tab in the mobile app, you should see a status message saying that it's scanning for new photos, or uploading images.

Dropbox StaffHi AlexAroth, thanks for your message!
Any device with camera uploads enabled on them, including the desktop app, will automatically have images uploaded to the Camera Uploads folder. This isn't separated by the number of devices, so any photo or video from devices would end up in the same if uploaded automatically via that feature.
Any folders that are visible from the Dropbox site would be visible in the mobile app, so it might just be a matter of scrolling through the list to find them.
Lastly, the iOS and Android apps are almost identical, except for a few visual and navigational differences particular to each OS.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
- Thanks for your reply!
The question I have left is if I can see the status of the uploads, ie. if the photo has been uploaded to Dropbox from my phone or not. Because I am uploading my old photos and the process has been interrulted for some reason a few times, and it's about 10 GB of data - too much to cross check it manually- Jay
