I've never had a problem with Dropbox. In fact I'm extra glad to have it with my iPhone, because it backs up my photos in a way that I actually have confidence in. Unfortunately it can only do so while the app is open, because iOS doesn't expose a third-party API for doing photo backups in the background.
- tokamak-teapot 6y agoIf you give it Location access it wakes up as you move around and does a little backing up until the OS puts it back to sleep. I hardly ever open the Dropbox app manually but I see my photos from my phone appearing in Dropbox when I check on other devices. Slightly delayed (a day maybe) but that’s fine. It’s just for backup. You can check that Dropbox is trying to do this by looking for the ‘Improve Background Uploading’ setting in the app’s settings page, and enable Location access in the OS settings for the app, if that makes sense!
