We are using it on Android without any of those issues. It uploads / syncs the dropbox folders only.. Ill VPN in from my phone from time to time and update firmware to customer radios using the dropbox folder to grab the firmware files from.

You could have it upload all photos and videos automatically, or you could select individual items to upload. I figured the automatic thing would be ideal because it would make the photo documentation brainless. Manually selecting things to upload would work as long as you're ok with it NOT being brainless.

It doesn’t sync everything. I’ll admit I haven’t configured my phone for Dropbox, so I don’t know if it works the same on Android or iOS. Note that Dropbox also lets you sign into your account on the web and has nice features like being able to access Word and Excel files even if you don’t have that software on the computer you are using. Again, I haven’t tried that on my phone. I know there are people who successfully use their phone as a computer, but I must lack the phone-as-computer gene.

At the time I didn't have a good answer for that complaint. -Adam On 7/29/2019 12:48 PM, Brian Webster wrote: The nice thing about dropbox is that even if you are in a no cell coverage area it will upload automatically as soon as you are (if you have it set to do that otherwise it will only upload to the server/cloud when connected to Wi-Fi only). The dropbox app on your computer will also download a local copy to your hard drive for any computer you have it installed on. A passive process all around. You can install the app on more than one computer and sign in with that account and it will sync local copies to all of those computers/drives. Multiple redundant copies that way. You can also share the folders to other accounts and/or create3 public links for read only access to files or folders. I have been using dropbox for 10 years now, love it.

Store photos and videos, and there is some compression if it's a free account. A paid account can have significant storage. The latest version you can turn off some of the "automaticness". bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 7/27/2019 9:38 AM, [email protected] wrote: Looking for something slightly more automated.

It happens. House sized crater in the street. We are still working on fixing the hole. They claim they did not see any paint. City says it was painted. Our policy is to video all construction prior to settle issues like this. But in this case the guy doing the video thinks he had his phone set on photo instead of video. So we have a couple of stills that are far from conclusive. I am finding myself increasingly a technological luddite. I don’t know exactly what instagram is. I presume it is something like FB but with photos. I have heard of periscope. I think that is a FB thing. I need something that would allow videos of sites like this to be automatically uploaded and stored in the cloud so that I can see them and access them instantly in the event of a utility strike. So, I will take off my wooden shoes for a bit and not insert them into the gears of learning if you kind folks would enlighten me as to what options exist. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
