Uploading selection of photos from Camera Roll to Camera Uploads folder via the iPhone?

How do I re-upload just one year of photos from iPhone to Dropbox with Camera Uploads? I tried selecting and sending but the file name is wrong - I want it to have the year-month-date the way it does with Camera Uploads. Then I put them in an album and tried "selecting where you’d like to upload from” but nothing. Paused Sync and restarted but still nothing. Under “Back up…” my only options are All Photos or one date. Seems like I should have more options like start and end date, or album(s).

Hi @dmarieslc, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

If you choose to manually upload photos from your phone to Dropbox, then it would use the existing filenames of the photos as they appear on the phone.

The camera uploads feature does automatically rename the files to the format you're referring to.

You could use an automation to rename the photos using the metadata in order to get them in the name format you want.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
