As far as I know, the answer to your first question is "yes". (I haven't tested it myself but I have seen it used in apps to display a custom photo picker. E.g. in Camera+) See documentation for ALAssetsLibrary: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/AssetsLibrary/Reference/ALAssetsLibrary_Class/Reference/Reference.html http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/Assets... "An instance of ALAssetsLibrary provides access to the videos and photos that are under the control of the Photos application. The library includes those that are in the Saved Photos album, those coming from iTunes, and those that were directly imported into the device. You use it to retrieve the list of all asset groups and to save images and videos into the Saved Photos album."

Can you do it automatically whenever the iPhone camera app takes a picture?

  Good point, and most likely not. I'm not very familiar with the background process APIs, but from my understanding of it, I'd be surprised if you were able to do that. In my comment I was mostly thinking of automatic upload as the user uses the app itself: opens Dropbox to check out a document and it automatically gets the new pictures without the user having to remember to do it.

  though not exactly "automatically" by the native camera app, but this app uploads directly to your db-account: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickshot-with-dropbox/id405198996?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickshot-with-dropbox/id4051... (and does it well!)
