[ANSS-netops] Secured photo archiving with instant upload feature

[Irving Flores]

Hi William,

 

Thanks.

 

This definitely looks like a step up from what I’m currently using, so it’s
definitely an improvement. But I suppose I should have been a tad more
specific. I’m trying to see if there’s a way to bypass the “middle man”
here. The middle man being the step that requires me to either email the
pictures to myself or transfer them from my phone/camera to my computer and
then to the storage service.

 

In essence, what I’m looking for is a feature/app that allows me to take
pictures (cell phone with perhaps a custom photo app) and  upload these
pictures directly to my storage archive without the need to email them or
transfer them to my computer.

 

I.E., Cell phone à photo archive.

 

Not even sure if something like this exists. At any rate, thanks again for
your help. Appreciate it.

 

Cheers,

Irving

I use an iPhone and an app called ContextCam which geotags the photos.  I
then email it to myself and others.

 

This is sort of what you want.

Hi all,

 

Any recommendations for a secured photo archive that allows the user to
geotag and instantaneously upload pictures taken from the field directly
into a cloud type storage?

 

I’m currently using a service that’s akin to a scaled down version of
shutterfly for field photos. It’s basic and effective, but I’m sure there
are better alternatives.

 

I’d like to get a few opinions on which services offer more user friendly
options, such as:

 

1)      Security

2)      Easy uploading while in field and mobile 

3)      Geotagging feature that possibly determines your location and
directs you to a more specific sub-folder in your storage directory without
having to navigate there yourself

4)      And perhaps timeline and mapping features. Useful, but not a deal
breaker.

 

 

Any thoughts or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Cheers,

Irving Flores
