Great, they finally support backing up your photos only after Apple always offers it. The last time I upgraded, Apple restored all my contacts, all my apps, most of my data and all my photos, then a couple of days ago Dropbox comes along and says, "Hey, guess what, store the exact same thing on me and I'll give you a couple more megabytes of storage. Too little too late. It's a useless feature!

It's only useless if you have no need for it !!

The point is that Apple already does this. Maybe it helps with Android, but for iOS devices, it appears they're just trying to jump on the boat after it's already left the dock and is out to sea. That's not to say that dropbox as a whole is bad, just that this photo upload offers nothing that iOS users don't already have.

I also had this problem. To fix it, delete the app and reinstall it. It will ask you to login and go through the setup process step by step.
