Uploading photos
Fast, resumable uploads of photos or entire folders.
How to upload
Drag photos or folders onto the library, or use the upload button. Dropping a folder keeps its structure as folders in ShotLocker.
What happens while it uploads
- Large files are split into 16 MB parts and sent several at a time, so uploads are fast and use your connection well.
- Several files upload in parallel.
- If your connection drops, the upload resumes where it stopped. A failed part is retried without starting the file over.
- The progress panel shows total size, speed, files done, files skipped and any that failed.
Duplicates
ShotLocker recognizes a photo it already has by its file name, size and capture time, and skips it. Uploading the same card twice does not use extra storage.
What happens after
As each photo arrives its metadata is read (caption, keywords, camera, dates, GPS and more) and a preview is generated. Photos are searchable as soon as they finish.
