Which WIFI Camera to UPLOAD Files Automatically
Hello All,
I have been looking and looking but to no avail, I cannot find a camera that has WIFI, well that is a lie, I find them, but none of them seem to connect to Dropbox directly. I just want to connect a camera to my HOTSPOT and as I take photos, they upload to a predetermined folder for the project I am working on.
Is this possible or how is anyone completing this task these days?

Hey Bo_Jangalz, thanks for joining our Community!
I'm afraid that's not currently possible with cameras. Photos can only be uploaded automatically, as you take them, through a phone.
When it comes to cameras, you need to plug the camera in to your computer and upload the photos through the Dropbox desktop application.
They'll also get uploaded automatically, you won't need to do it manually. But you'll need to plug the camera in to the computer.
Let me know if you have any questions.I do realize that and have been doing that for years already but was hoping there was something that we could use as there are other social media wifi cameras that would work with Dropbox.
Thank you for confirming the information,
~Bo
