Used Dropbox with android and it just works...

Dropbox app for iOS is pants ..it's slow and quite frankly useless.

i downloaded one drive app and it's working for pics but for videos Im getting failed to upload

Anyone give me a robust solution to backup my photos and videos to the cloud so then I can copy them to my server from a PC?

Cheers
 
Won't iCloud photo stream do this for you, for photos at least? Does for me on my Mac. Photos are uploaded automatically and downloaded to Mac automatically - which in turn is then backed up.

Just logged into icloud from my windows 9 laptop and cannot see a folder photos? Even though I have my phone setup to backup to icloud?

Forgive me I'm a apple noob...?
 
Google Drive?

will gibe it a whirl if it allows auto upload of my phone pics

Flickr is the best. Great app and interface, 1TB of free storage. Strong privacy controls.

Is it easy to copy from it to my server that was the beauty of dropbox on my android...I could install dropbox on my wndows laptop and just copy my photos to the server in windows...
 
Other options are BitTorrent Sync, or using FTPS/SFTP? Will cost a bit of cash but Transmit for iOS is supposed to be fantastic, and probably worth the money if you have a requirement like this.

Dropbox worked on android...I'm not paying for anything

Its IOS...I love my new iphone6 but certain things like onedrive and dropbox are just broken which is a real shame.:mad:

Thanks thouogh for the info I will check it out amigo
 
I was mistaken the auto picture upload part is part of the google+ app, auto uploads fine on my new iPad Mini 2, unlimited storage as well for pictures under a certain resolution. Even though it's part of Google+ none of the pictures are visible to anyone else unless you share them.

Google + is to confusing for me thanks though
 
You can upload directly from the Photos app with ease, in bulk but it's not as easy to manage them within Windows. You have to log into Flickr and it's all big thumbnails.

As a pure back up option though, it's good.

I think you can bulk download using the file manager within the site somewhere.

Copy and paste from windows is what I'm after ... Go out with daughter take loads of pics and videos then when I get back home on the night I logon to laptop find the pics in a windows folder and copy them to server then auto backed up to crash plan

Just tried adrive and the app 100gb again it's crap ...

Dropbox was awesome on android and I miss it
