1328861 2013-02-19 20:56:00 A client has purchased a new Samsung Tablet, and wants to be able to take a picture on it, and for it to be automatically uploaded so they can view it on their PC - basically what Apple's photo stream does.

I've been looking through various sync apps and DropBox seems to do what we're after - I'm just wondering if anyone does this with a particular app, or could recommend a better app than DropBox for it.

The only stipulation is it has to happen automatically - pic taken -> pic uploaded -> Pc automatically downloads pic.

Thanks. :)

1328862 2013-02-19 21:21:00 Google+ Instant Upload, it's where Apple got the idea from ;-) Chilling_Silence (9)

Is there a way to sync that with a PC too, rather than having to look at G+ if images are wanted to be viewed from a PC?

1328865 2013-02-19 21:57:00 Doesn't Google+ upload (and dropbox for that matter) count against your storage quota - where PhotoStream doesn't.

Another possible option is the EyeFi app (and PC app) - I have the card, but it comes with an IOS (and I think android) app, that will take camera roll photos and dump them on a local computer, or flickr/facebook etc.

This might be another option.

AFAIK you can download them with Picasa, but don't quote me on that.


No they don't count towards any storage, unless you upload them in full resolution. If G+ is allowed to resize them to 2MP, then you have unlimited storage. At full size you get 5GB free.

1328868 2013-02-19 23:02:00 I use Dropbox and it works great. Take photo on phone or tablet and they quickly end up in my PC Images folder to be viewed by Picasa. linw (53)
