How to enable or disable the Dropbox camera uploads feature on Windows 10 PC?

Last Updated :

The camera uploads feature automatically adds the photos and videos from your phone, camera, SD card, or many other media devices whenever you connect it to your computer. The feature depends on Windows AutoPlay to work correctly. To locate AutoPlay settings:
  1. Open your computer's Control Panel.
  2. Click Hardware and Sound.
  3. Click AutoPlay.
Once you've verified that AutoPlay is configured, please check that you have the latest version of the Dropbox desktop application. You're then ready to use camera uploads.

Enable camera uploads:
  1. Click the Dropbox icon in the system tray.
  2. Click the gear icon
  3. Select Preferences….
  4. Click Change AutoPlay Settings from the Camera Upload section.
  5. AutoPlay settings will appear in a new window.
    - To enable camera uploads, click the menu next to the media devices and select Import pictures and video using Dropbox
    - To disable camera uploads, click the menu next to the camera, phone, or other media device and select Take no action

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!
