Hey @Dominica,

Here's how to disable Camera Uploads for your Android device:

Open the Dropbox app.
Tap the menu button.
Tap the gear icon (or Settings, on older versions of the app).
Scroll to the Camera Upload section.
Toggle to Turn off Camera Upload.

When you don't have camera uploads enabled, you can manually add photos to your Dropbox.

Open the Dropbox app.
Open the Dropbox folder where you'd like to store your photos.
Tap the + (plus) icon at the bottom of your screen.
Choose Upload photos or videos.
Find the files you want to upload, and tap to select them for upload.
- A check mark indicates the file has been selected
Tap the folder icon, and select where you'd like the files to be added.
Tap Set location.
Tap Upload.

Thanks!
