As photographers, naturally we probably take more pictures then the general public with our smart phone for even everyday events. I doubt there’s been a day I have not taken some picture about a life event whether minor or major in …well I have no idea how long. I’ve been itching to figure out a good way to back up my memories. In way, it’s a modern day journal of life. My phone keeps tracks of my kids, my home life, my relationships, and the world around me.
How can I store, save, organize my life of photos and videos? After asking this question, my boyfriend told me about. PhotoSync And yes that sounds like I just did a cheesy promotion holding my phone. Actually, I’m in no way paid or compensated in any way with PhotoSync. This app solved an issue because I wanted an easy way to preserve my life memories.
It was the perfect answer to my nagging worry of wanting to organize and back up my photos. I set up the app so whenever I get onto my home wifi, the app uploads my photos automatically to a private gallery on my SmugMug account. I personally set the settings to do it without even notifying me.
I can then go into my SmugMug account and organize my photos by date. That way I have a way to look back and have a safe keeping on my life journal. Having this program also inspires me to actually shoot more about my life with my phone. Some day I hope to look back with my kids and grandkids and enjoy.
You of course do not need a SmugMug account. PhotoSync will do transfer photos & videos to your favorite cloud or photo service like Dropbox, Flickr, Google+ / Picasa, Facebook, our partner Zenfolio, Box, 500px OneDrive, Google Drive & SugarSync. You can also back it up to your computer as well. So many features to customize what will work best for you and preserving your photos.
The more I learn about this powerful app the more excited I am to dive in and use other features. For example, you can even import photos & videos directly from your camera that is equipped with a supported wireless SD Card.
This is one of several apps on the market making life easier to do more with our smart phones. This particular one is what I use. Find what works best for you and your workflow. Preserve your memories.

I have the same issues with my iPhone photos. I will have to give this a try.
Will it also delete the photos after uploading them? I already use Dropbox to automatically upload my photos whenever I open it when connected to WiFi. Next time I open up Lightroom, it automatically pulls new photos from Dropbox.
The annoying part is then having to go back and delete one-by-one the photos on my iPhone so I don’t run out of storage.
http://www.photosync-app.com/photosync/en/help/general/answers/why-cant-photosync-delete-photosvideos-from-my-iphoneipadipod-touch.html iPhone will not allow third-party apps to delete anything from the camera roll. They have tips on deleting your images in this link. SO it’s not an app thing but an apple thing.
There is an app called PhotoVault that allows you to automatically delete the photos after import from the camera roll, although it DOES ask you to confirm (just so you can’t accidentally do it), and then the app even advises you to go into your recently deleted photos and then additionally delete them from there as well. So, somehow they’ve found a way around that issue of deleting from the camera roll after transfer/import… Maybe PhotoSync can look into that and do something similar. (Just a thought!)
Thanks for the tip it works great!!!
Flickr’s own iPhone app will automatically upload when on your home wifi. Their new Mac app/uploader will do the same from your computer.
