The second paragraph does say: "now with Dropbox you can automatically upload from just about any camera, tablet, SD card or smartphone — pretty much anything that takes photos or videos!" So it was confusing. I looked through the iPhone app and there isn't anything about it. However I updated the desktop client and it recognizes plugged cameras or phones and ask if you want to import the pictures from it. This help age is clearer in terms of what it does and how to get the extra space: https://www.dropbox.com/help/287 https://www.dropbox.com/help/287 So that's where the automatic upload happens. At least for iPhones.
