Sometimes you want to send photos or videos to a frame on a schedule. Some examples:
- A photo a day as part of giving PhotoSpring as a gift during Valentine's day.
- A photo a day for the twelve days or Christmas or eight days of Hanukkah
- Your mother calls you every day to ask you to send more photos of her grandchildren. Instead of having to remember to load photos every day, just schedule a few photos a day for the next 90 days.
Here are the limitations of the photo scheduler:
- The scheduling feature is only available on the Web uploader at my.photospring.com
- You can schedule up to 1gb of photos/videos total or 500 items at a time.
- You can schedule photos for up to 10 frames at a time
- Schedules can go out up to 3 months in advance. So on January 1 you can schedule photos up to April 1.
Here's how you schedule photos:
Step 1: Go to my.photospring.com and login to your account.
Step 2: Select the Schedule Photos button on the home screen
Step 3: Select the frame(s) you would like to schedule photos for
Step 4: Add photos or videos to the dates you want them sent
In the Schedule Photos screen you will see boxes with a date for each box. Add photos or videos for each date you want the items sent. You can either:
- click on the Add+ button (shown in purple below) or
- drag the items you want sent into the box (red box)
Scroll down to reveal more dates - up to 3 months in advance.
Step 5: Upload the photos/videos
After loading up the photos into the browser, click on the Upload button to start uploading the photos.
Step 6: Checking the status of your scheduled upload
After the upload occurs your photos can be in three states
- Uploaded
- Ready to Download
- Downloaded by the Frame
You can check the status for each of your photos, when it is scheduled to be sent and even stop it from being sent. From the Home Screen tap on Manage Frames --> Your Frames and select the frame you want to check. This will reveal the upload status screen.
