Directly taking a single camera snapshot to Dropbox?

[jaakkos]

I'm looking for a way to easily take a camera snapshot which will be automatically uploaded to Dropbox. Preferrably a shortcut in the home screen which opens the camera app and once the picture is taken, it's uploaded to Dropbox. It could simply be a camera application which has the ability to automatically upload snapshots to Dropbox.

I've heard that once upon a time the Dropbox app itself had a handy "new picture" entry in it's menu, which would've been sufficient, but now it only has "new text file". I guess they have removed the "new picture" functionality after adding the fully automatic picture uploading. Note that I do not want to use the automatic upload feature which uploads *all* pictures taken with Android camera to Dropbox.

Dropbox has an automatic photo download feature that works very well. I use it to upload my pics taken on my phone automatically to DB. I have mine set to WiFi only, but it can be set to use either WiFi or data. The only issue I have is, if I am on WiFi and take a pic and don't like it and immediately delete the pic, DB uploads it before I can physically delete it. I say all that to show that the DB photo upload feature is pretty fast and doesn't miss anything. It doesn't sync pictures with the phone, so you can delete them from the phone and the copy on DB remains intact. This is all built into the Android Dropbox App. You can turn on Mobile Photo Upload (I believe that is what it is called) through the app settings. If you don't have the app installed, when you install it offers the option.

Hope this helps,

I apologize, I misread your last statement. Obviously, this won't work for you.
