Will my photos get uploaded again if I move them?

I have camera upload turned on and phone pics automatically go to the Camera uploads folder.
If I move them from that folder, into an album or sub-folder, will the uploading process upload them again to the camera uploads folder?

    Not sure if I completely understand what you're trying to do. If I've missed the mark, let me know.

    All photos uploaded through the automatic upload process will always go into the Camera Uploads folder. You can't redirect them anywhere else during upload. You can create folders elsewhere in your Dropbox and move the photos uploaded on a given day to that folder, but there's no way to have that done automatically.

    I am trying to upload all the pictures from my photos on iPhone and it won't automatically upload them. It's like it doesn't see them.

    My photos from my phone automatically upload into Camera Uploads, which is great.  But now I want to move those into Dropbox albums.  Can anyone assist?

    I am very frustrated with the app on a new galaxy s7 active. I maintain 5000 pics on my phones ex sd drive in various folders. Previously the s3 and s5 im sure only uploaded the camera folder. To get the s7 to sync properly im going to have a lot of redundancies and items i have previously deleted.
