4 years agoHey 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,

Has this feature been added since this thread 2 years ago? I was looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera with built-in Wi-Fi on (Links removed by moderator per Dropbox Community Guidelines) Would I be able to connect into WiFi and upload to Dropbox folder directly?
