How uploading from mobile devices works

You can use the Fotoware Mobile app for iPhone or Android to upload photos and videos from your smartphone or tablet using the FotoWeb app.

Some mobile devices can store pictures from an SD card in their camera roll using an SD card adapter, in which case you can transfer pictures and video taken with your DSLR to the mobile device and then upload them to FotoWeb using either a WiFi or a 3G/4G connection (be wary of data costs).

Typically, when you upload files to an archive, you will be required to fill out certain metadata fields in the process to make it possible to find and retrieve the assets later. If some fields have been made required, you may not upload files unless those fields are filled in.

Furthermore, alerts, or search agents, can be configured on the server to notify users when new files arrive that match specific criteria. Hence, the system can be configured so that when you tag a file with a specific keyword, the user on the receiving end is notified when the file arrives.
