DedupeHow to Automatically Backup Your iOS Photos with Dropbox Carousel?
Last Updated :Carousel is Dropbox’s mobile gallery for all the photos and videos stored in the Dropbox account. Using Carousel you can view your photos and videos on your mobile device without navigating through different folders in your Dropbox cloud account. You can also set it up to take an automatic backup of your photos from your iPhone or iPad directly to Dropbox via Carousel.
Here's how to automatically backup your iOS photos with Dropbox Carousel:
- If you do not have Carousel app installed on your iPhone or iOS device than go to your App store and download 'Carousel by Dropbox'.
- Once the installation is complete, launch the app and sign in to your Carousel account.(Note: Both Carousel and Dropbox use the same Dropbox account. If you already have a Dropbox account, you don’t have to sign up for a Carousel account). And in case you do not have a Dropbox account please sign up for one.
- Once done, tap the “Sign into My Dropbox” button. Enter your email and password in the Sign In screen then tap the “Sign In” button.
- As soon as you login to Carousel, all the photos and videos from your Dropbox account are displayed in large thumbnails.
- In order to backup your iOS photo to Carousel, tap the orange exclamation icon on the upper left corner of the screen. This will open the Settings menu.
- Select “Backup Options.” from the list. This will open the menu for photo/video backup options.
- Slide the toggle button to go green. This will enable photo videos backup from your iOS device. All the iOS photos that you click in future will be automatically backed up to your Dropbox account.
- All the photos and videos uploaded via Carousel will be placed under the Camera Uploads folder in your Dropbox account. Go to Dropbox, from your computer app, mobile app, or directly from its website, to see them there.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
