Photo Backup – FAQs

🖼️ Photo Backup – FAQs

---

❓ What types of photos are backed up?

The app backs up:

• Photos from the Camera folder (DCIM)

• Screenshots

• Downloads (if enabled)

• Any photo saved in common public folders (e.g., /Pictures, /WhatsApp/Images)

---

❓ Does it include videos?

No. Only image files (.jpg, .png, .webp, etc.) are backed up. Video support may be added in a future release.

---

❓ How often are photos uploaded?

New photos are scanned:

• Every 15–30 minutes (default), or

• Immediately after being taken, if “Upload Immediately” is enabled

---

❓ Will it re-upload the same photo twice?

No. Each photo is uniquely identified (e.g., by file hash or timestamp) to avoid duplicates.

---

❓ Can I choose which folders to back up?

Currently, only default folders (such as Camera and Screenshots) are supported. Advanced folder selection will be available in a future update.

---

❓ Is photo backup affected by internet connection?

Yes. By default, photos are uploaded only when the device is connected to Wi-Fi. You can change this behavior in the Power & Network Settings.

---

❓ Does photo backup drain battery?

Minimal. Uploads are optimized to run in the background and avoid heavy processing. Batch uploads are used when possible to reduce power usage.

---

❓ Are photos compressed or resized?

No. The app uploads the original full-resolution file without compression.

---

❓ Where are the backed-up photos stored?

Photos are stored in cloud storage linked to your device, securely protected and organized by upload date.
