Android: Delay dropbox upload intentionally Is might seem an odd question for some.. But I often find myself wishing that dropbox would wait 5-10 minutes before uploading my newly taken photos. The reason is that sometimes I take a blurry picture and delete it straight away - but dropbox alwas snap it before an upload it to my dropbox. So I have to delete it on my dropbox..

I actually think that what I need would be total sync - so deleting on my phone would delete on dropbox. But I feel that this solution would be too risky.. so would just be happy with a delayed upload that just upload what I have in my camera folder.

Any such solution?
As stated already, one solution would be to use an app that lets you synchronize with dropbox.
I personally already used Dropsync. It works flawlessly, however, the free version only lets you sync one main folder. So that was not really an option.

The solution I just came up with is making good use of the Tasker app yet again.


tell Tasker if the camera or gallery apps are running and mobile data is enabled, disable mobile data.
then as exit task (to be executed when camera/gallery get closed) re-enable mobile data.


Dropbox will then upload all the shots I did not delete right away using the camera/gallery app.
