How to enable specific folder auto backup on my Android device to Dropbox?

Hi Dropbox Team,

I hope you are well.

Is this option available? Can you please let me know? I may be unable to find the setting.

I found this thread which leads me to believe this option is unavailable for android users?

I've selected a folder. I've successfully uploaded to dropbox. I have the free 2GB plan/account. I'd like to be able to turn on (enable) autosync or autoupload for that specific folder. It is the only folder I am backing up. I need the android device as a master.

Thanks.

Hey @kd69, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

At the moment, the only thing you can automatically upload to Dropbox from your mobile device, is the photos in your gallery and screenshots folders through the camera uploads feature.

There's no way to automatically back up other files, however, we appreciate your feedback on this.

I'll make sure to pass your comments along to our team.

If you have any questions, let us know!

Thanks. Too bad. It renders the app not useful for myself.

I understand where you're coming from, @kd69.

Rest assured that I will pass your comments along to our team, so thanks for the feedback.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Please please PLEASE can we have this option. It makes no sense that I cannot backup documents as well as photos on my Android.
