How can I view only the photos I uploaded from my camera in the Photos tab?

Hi, How can I view only the photos I uploaded from my camera on my Android and iPad?

When I open the app on either Android or iPad, I tap the “Photos” option, and I see all the photos from my entire Dropbox account—that is, from folders outside of my “Camera Uploads” folder, such as folders where I store photos of receipts, scanned documents, or wallpapers saved in the root /Documents folder— but they appear in PHOTOS.

How can I make it so that only the photos from the Camera Roll folder are displayed?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't think the "Photos" view can be further customised.

Alternatively, I am not sure whether trying to organise the photos automatically into folders by year/month will help you browse your photos. Not using the "Photos" view, but simply the folder listing in large thumbnails.

After years, the "Camera Upload" folder will be rather bulky and not easy to find things in, and I have an "Automation" setup to organise the files into date-based subfolders, as shown in the screenshot below. Hope it helps.

To view only the photos you've uploaded from your camera in the Photos tab, use the available filters and select Uploaded by Me (or a similar option, depending on your setup). You can also sort or filter by upload source, date, or owner to narrow the results to images you've personally added.

If you don't see an upload filter, try using the search bar with your name or check the album/folder where your camera uploads are stored. The exact steps may vary depending on the platform you're using, so let us know which product or app you're viewing photos in, and we can provide more specific instructions.

To view only the photos you uploaded from your camera in the Photos tab, look for the available filter or search options and select Uploaded by Me, My Photos, or a similar filter if available. You can also try filtering by upload source, date, or album to narrow the view to your camera uploads. If you don't see these options, please let us know which app or platform you're using so we can provide more specific instructions.

HI, this is my Android App. I can't find options like Uploaded by Me or filters like that.

The filters I have now is "Destacados (Featured), Tipo (Type) and Meses (Months)

I couldn't find an option to change the app language to English, so that's why the app is on Spanish my system default language.

Dropbox Andriod App version: 474.2.2 installed from Google Play Store.

Hi, I couldn't find filter options on Photos view.

Hey @Sergiomc! Like @Vicker mentioned above, it’s not possible to filter your Photos tab to only see pictures from your “camera uploads” folder at the moment.

I can definitely log this as feedback though with our team, as this would be something useful to have as a feature on the mobile app.
