Where the Library is available

The Library - browse, upload, curate, search, and manage your photos - is available on:

  • Web - desktop or laptop browser at eyedeeaphotos.com
  • Android - the full Eyedeea Photos mobile app

It is not available on view-only apps such as Fire TV, Google TV, or LG TV. Those apps play the synchronized View slideshow only. Manage your library on a computer or Android device, then watch on the big screen.

The Sources tab connects a local folder on your computer to your household library so you can scan an existing collection without uploading everything manually.

Platform note

The Sources tab is available on web (desktop/laptop) only - not on Android or view-only TV apps. The rest of the Library is on desktop, laptop, and Android.

What sources do​

A source is a folder on your desktop or laptop that Eyedeea watches and indexes.

When you scan a source, photos are imported into your cloud library and become eligible for Auto Curation.

Typical workflow​

  1. Open Library → Sources.
  2. Add a local folder path.
  3. Run a scan - progress appears in a modal; large libraries take longer.
  4. After import, auto-curation organizes new photos like any upload.

Good to know​

  • Sources require the web app on desktop or laptop with filesystem access.
  • Scanning reads metadata and copies photos into your household storage - plan limits still apply.
  • For day-to-day phone photos, use Upload instead.
