If you later downgrade back to the Basic plan, your referrals…

@"SPoirier" wrote:I will hold out for someone that works for Dropbox, thanks. The answer will be the same. Dropbox can't make someone else an admin in your team. Only the team admin can make such a change as they're the owner of the account. Dropbox won't bypass that. Your best option, if you're using company email…

And you just enabled Camera Uploads recently, without previously having it activated on that device? I ask because mine says Starting Dec 20, 2022, but that's when I activated Camera Uploads originally. Edited to add: Maybe uninstall/reinstall the app and see if the date changes? If you try, I'd disable Camera Uploads…
