  • A Surefire Way To Stop Hoarding Photos On Your Phone

    Selfies, cat photos, instagrammed lunches… They make you feel so happy, and you absolutely cannot live without them. But surely you don’t have space for ALL of those photos on your phone? This is how you save space on your mobile’s hard drive.

    Dropbox

    If you already have a desktop Dropbox account, simply install the app, sign into your account, head to settings and turn on Camera Upload. Turn on Background Uploading so you don’t have to launch the app every time you take a few photos. You have the option to turn on uploading via cellular data. Only turn that on if you’re on an unlimited data account. For the initial sync, do all your uploading via Wi-Fi. The downside to Dropbox is if you have a free account you probably only have 5GB of storage available, which you’ll max pretty quickly.

    Flickr

    If you’re going through life taking photos of absolutely everything, the Flickr app is probably more your speed. Flickr offers up to 1TB of storage. Like the Dropbox app, you can upload photos in the background. In the app, go to More and turn on Auto Upload. All the photos will be viewable via the app and on the site, but will be set to private. If you’re concerned about your photos being online, even in private mode, you’re probably better off with Dropbox.

    OS X

    On OS X, iPhoto is go-to photo management tool. For iOS it’s pretty much just plug and play. To get Android to play nice with your computer, head to Settings > Device > Storage > Menu > USB computer connection. Turn on Camera PTP USB connection. The default MTB USB setting doesn’t work with iPhoto and requires you to download and install an app to work with OS X.

    Once your phone shows up in the left-hand sidebar of iPhoto, click on it and select the import button in the top right-hand corner. Import everything! At this point if you’re using Flickr, use the iPhoto in-app uploader to upload all your photos to the service.

    Windows 8

    To get those photos onto Flickr, use the Windows Photo Gallery. Launch the app and select the photos you want to upload. Under the Home tab, the services you can share to are in the top right-hand corner. Select Flickr. In the pop up under Permissions, select Only You. This will keep the photos private. Under Photo Sets, select Auto Upload. And under Photo Size, select Original. Now hit publish.

    If you’re using Dropbox, you can drag and drop the photos into the Camera Uploads folder in your Finder’s Dropbox folder.

    Nifty.
