Why can't I upload more than 1 photo to Dropbox from an iPhone or iPad?

Why can I only upload one photo at a time from my iPad or iPhone to Dropbox? As soon as I check more than one photo, the Dropbox icon disappears.

    As long as you have a new version of the app you can.

    You tap the big + button, upload photos and then tap on the ones you want it to upload.

        What if I have more than 5000 photos in different albums that I’d like to upload? Sure as hell I won’t tap on individual photos...

        Why couldn’t Dropbox just let the iOS photo system handle the uploading, because there it is possible to ”Select All” in an album.
