Can I upload whole albums and preserve the names?

Question

Hi! I recently switched to iPhone and was unable to transfer photos from my Android to my new phone, hence why I’m here. I need a good place to store all my photos so that they are easily accessible on all devices. I have my photos VERY organized on my Android and was wondering if I could transfer them to Dropbox and KEEP THEM IN THE ALBUMS they are currently in… It seems they are simply coming over one by one out of the albums. This is extremely frustrating. Especially because I’m dealing with iPhones idiotic idea of phone storage (you move a photo to an album and it STAYS in the camera roll!! It just becomes a copy-I don’t want it in 2 places. I need it organized and in ONE. Anyway…) Any way to do this?

Hi resurrecting this old thread.  Can we get a feature request to preserve the albums when using this feature?  Dumping everything into one folder is a kinda crummy user experience.

Hi @Morgsbek, thanks for messaging the Community!

When you enable the camera upload feature, it will automatically attempt to upload any images in the camera roll  and any albums you choose to the Camera Uploads folder.

It won't be possible to preserve any album names, since all images go into the Camera Uploads folder.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
