Photos tab in Dropbox online contains bookoo pics from way back.

I was surprised to find that the Photos tab in Dropbox online (i.e. at Dropbox.com) contains bookoo pics from wayyyy back.

I've always deleted pics from the iPhone after naming and saving the ones I want to keep on my PC (in Dropbox folders of my own (conscious) creation). In Dropbox it says, "Camera uploads is turned off." Don't believe I've ever intentionally told Dropbox to save all photos.

Hi there, @eoffbus, let's see what we can find together about this!

Generally, the photos tab should show almost all the image and video files uploaded in your account, no matter their location or way you upload them.

If you try to double click a picture in order to view it, can you see its current path inside your Dropbox account?

You also mentioned that you always deleted the pictures on the iPhone. Do you mean that you deleted these files using the Dropbox mobile app, or that you deleted them locally from your iPhone's camera roll?

Let me know of any updates!

Hey @eoffbus!

Quick check-in to see if you caught my last reply. Do you need more help? If yes, then I'm happy to assist. If everything is sorted, we'd love to hear what fixed it.

I deleted them locally from the iPhone's camera roll. Thanks for following-up.

Keep in mind that doing that won't have an effect on the Photos tab as it shows the photos directly from your Dropbox account, and not the ones stored in your camera roll. Also, deleting a photo from your camera roll doesn't delete that photo from your Dropbox account.
