I'd like to sync my photos from my phone to an online service and am looking for recommendations for which one to use.
I want to have these functions:
Either FTP support OR an app that uploads all camera photos automatically
Support for HD-video
All files need to be saved in their original size
Cost no more than $60/year
Good gallery-function online for friends to see my photos. Photos are hidden for all but people with the shared link.
At least 3GB storage space
These features would be nice but are not mandatory:
App setting to only upload when on wifi and/or when charging
App setting to delete local copy when uploaded and instead just save thumbnail or small version
Is anyone able to recommend a service based on the above? Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, Imgur, Zenfolio, Smugmug, etc.?

Here's the deal with the way I share photos. I don't do social media, I don't have "walls" anywhere. I show pictures to my wife and folks and they send pictures to me. But doing this via email the way we do now is cumbersome. Snap...open email...attach...no not that one, the other one...delete...attach...add email addresses... etc etc etc. And that's not even addressing the issue of file size limitations.
I need something super simple that allows sharing of 1-4 pictures quickly after taking them without having to manage a whole social media app in the process. Does something like this even exist or am I not a market that anyone cares to create an app for because my photo use can't be monetized by a marketing manager?
Thanks guys! Any app suggestions would be great. If it could work across Blackberry as well that would be great. All I can find is flickr??
I just use my dropbox account. added my mom to the photo folder and she can just go to the dropbox website. The dropbox app makes it very easy to upload photos right after you take them. This works for you too. If they just upload photos to the shared dropbox folder you can view them from computer or phone. Only problem is you don't get any notification of new content like you get with e-mail.

I know that this is not really a Tab question but since I have one, I thought that I would post it here.
I would like to have my huge photo library stored in the cloud and accessible from an app such as Dropbox, Minus or any of the other similar services. The problem is that the file size of most of my photos is a couple GB per image. I do not have an unlimited amount of storage in my Cloud accounts. Also, I do not need to be able to access full size image files when simply viewing them on my Tab.
Has anyone found an app or service that will go through a library of images, resize them to something appropriate for viewing on a 10 inch tablet and create a new lighter image library that could be stored in the cloud?
In order to be useful, this should be a one-click batch mode process and have the ability to update itself as new images are added to the full size photo library.
Has anyone seen anything like this?
I look forward to being enlightened.

Okay is there an app for this? If both people had the same app and of course had android... Like where I could upload something and they could download it like a mms, or would I have to use cloud sharing? Also which is the best cloud sharing and easiest for both pc and phone? Skybox/Cloud whatever microsoft calls it, dropbox or? I'd like one where I could upload everything from a pc with no transfer/UPLOADING required, just drag ad drop, plus the most storage would help.
Like WhatsApp? But max it allows is 12 MB I believe. For larger sizes I just put it on dropbox and link them to it.
Talking about best cloud service, I don't really know Cuz I don use much of cloud services.
PS - you could just mail em. for larger sizes, Google automatically does it with Google drive.
life!
Yea since posting this, I discovered es file manager has the best cloud storage options, it has 8 cloud services ya can log into (Box, SugarSync, Dropbox, Skydrive, G(oogle)Drive, S3 Amazon, Yandex and Ubunto One) I got WhatsApp so I'll have to try and talk my gf into downloading that for easier file sharing. So far she's just been logging into my cloud's and asking me to load this and that. hahaha
So I'm looking for an android app that will let me upload pictures to a remote FTP server automatically, not necessarily sync with the phone but just upload the pictures and skip any that are of the same file name; this is not so hard to find.
But also (preferably in the same app) I need to be able to view the pictures on said FTP remotely and in a nice smooth way, perhaps some kind of forward buffer so that you can do a gallery.
Finally, I need to be able to view the pictures on the FTP server (and again, if in the same app - awesome!) and multi-select some of them to download back to the device.
Does anyone know if something like this exists? I want to avoid things like Picasa as I am concerned about security and I know my FTP server is in my house; not in 'the cloud'.
As a side thought:
Alternatively, I could store them on a remote FTP server where I have unlimited storage space but security is the issue here, I'd need to password protect and possible protect by using something to make sure only certain devices could access the files. But then, I need to be able to view it on my android phone; perhaps an HTML5 application could do this effectively.... I'd prefer to use an app though for viewing.
Although it is quite late, I just passed by and see that I have same problem as you before. And I use "SyncMe Wireless" to solve this problem. It's very fast (than cloud sync), and easy to use. Try it.
Hey everyone,
I've been googling for many hours. I've been to many shady places. But I've come up empty handed.
I'm basically looking for an app, that can provide syncronisation between a folder on my device, and a folder on <insert cloud storage here>.
I'm personally trying to migrate away from Dropbox, of which I've been a heavy user for many years. But in the light of the recent NSA gate, I thought I'd take a look what else is out there. I've chosen MEGA, as they provide (on paper) the security I like, and enough storage for my cloud-storage-needs.
I've been using Dropbox to automatically store the images I've taken with my phone camera and I take a backup of my texts every night at 2pm, which is also, automagically, uploaded to Dropbox. The official MEGA app takes care of the first, but the latter is taken care of within the backup app itself. It can be disabled, though.
I've looked for sync apps, but neither those or apps like Helium doesn't support MEGA.
So dear XDA,
Is there hope for me?
