About

PicApport PhotoSync

Read full description

PicApport PhotoSync ist eine App die es ermöglicht, Fotos, die mit dem Handy oder Tablett gemacht wurden, bequem und auf Wunsch sogar vollautomatisch, auf den PicApport Fotoserver zu übertragen. Selbstverständlich ohne Ihre Daten dabei an einen Clouddienst zu übertragen. PicApport kümmert sich hierbei um eine sinnvolle und frei konfigurierbare Ordnerstruktur der Fotos auf dem Server. Metadaten wie Fototitel oder Tags werden bereits auf dem Handy bequem erfasst und den Bildern zugeordnet. Ereignisse wie z.B. eine Familienfeier oder ein Kundenbesuch können zeitlich begrenzt schon vor der Aufnahme eines Fotos mit Titel und Tags definiert werden. Alle Aufnahmen in der konfigurierten Zeitspanne eines Ereignisses, werden dann vollautomatisch mit Titel und Tags auf den PicApport Server synchronisiert.
