Unlike iCloud and other photo-sharing options, Cloud Photos stores only small thumbnails on your device, taking up only a very small amount of memory when compared to full-size cameras taken with the 4S, which can reach up to five MB in size, with full versions available to be downloaded on-demand. The other thing is that we realized our photos were taking up so much space on our device, it was becoming restrictive as to what you could even have on your phone.” “It doesn’t give you a lot of control up until recently, you couldn’t even create a new folder on the iPhone. “What we realized is that we don’t really like how most mobile phones, and the iPhone specifically deal with photos,” Andrew Norris told BetaKit in an interview. The Norris brothers note that this is just version one of Cloud Photos, which eventually wants to manage a user’s entire photo collection, regardless of where they live. It offers some nice additional functionality, including exposure, focus and white balance lock, as well as an advanced grid overlay. It allows users to specify which folder it saves photos to, and can save them directly to any shared Dropbox folder in order to make them instantly available to others, but it isn’t just a simple in-app camera thrown in as an afterthought.
One of the nicest aspects of Cloud Photos, however, might be its built-in camera interface.
There are also photo-sharing apps like Batch, which lets users share albums with Facebook and with selected friends, but doesn’t have any Dropbox integration. Cloud Photos also only carries a one-time charge (though if used it often, it may require upgrading a Dropbox account), unlike subscription services like Adobe Revel. Unlike something like Apple’s own iCloud, Cloud Photos isn’t limited to just one Apple ID user, and, as Syrp co-founders and brothers Andrew and Jonathan Norris told BetaKit, it’s also less of a memory hog and much more flexible. Dropbox is currently working on a desktop/Android solution that allows users to automatically upload photos any time a camera is connected, which should actually help Cloud Photos appeal more to users by shoring up the iOS side of the picture. With the Dropbox integration, it essentially becomes a shared gallery, or actually as many shared galleries as can be stored on Dropbox, which a user can open up and make public, or share securely with a core group of friends and family. For users who want a photo-sharing app that, like Instagram, doesn’t require users to store photos on their device, but also keeps them private, there aren’t many options. New app Cloud Photos, from recently founded startup Syrp, aims to help resolve that issue, and on a larger scale give users a way to automatically store their photos in the cloud.Ĭloud Photos is a simple app that simply connects a user’s device, its camera and its camera roll to their Dropbox account. While users have flocked to the app to share photos with their friends and sync to social networks like Twitter, there’s no option to keep Instagram photos private without a protected account.
