Upload

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 Upload tab is how you add new photos to your cloud library. Everything lands in your raw area first - then Auto Curation takes over.

You can upload from the web browser on desktop or laptop, or from the Android app (upload and share from your phone's gallery). On iPhone and other devices, use the browser at eyedeeaphotos.com - the experience is almost the same as on desktop.

How to upload​

Web (desktop, laptop, or mobile browser):

  1. Open Library → Upload.
  2. Drag and drop photos or folders, or use the file picker.
  3. Watch the progress bar - large batches may upload in chunks.
  4. After the batch finishes, Auto Curation starts automatically (usually within about 60 seconds).

Android app:

  1. Open Library → Upload (or share photos to Eyedeea from your gallery).
  2. Pick photos or albums from your device.
  3. Upload runs in the background; Auto Curation starts when the batch completes.

Keep EXIF and geolocation intact​

Eyedeea relies on EXIF metadata - especially date, time, and GPS coordinates - to organize albums, map your memories, and power Search. Without geolocation, the AI cannot place photos on a map or name events by location.

Best practices:

  • Prefer the desktop browser or Android app when uploading or sharing photos.
  • Avoid mobile Chrome for uploads when you can - some mobile browsers strip EXIF data (including GPS) before the file reaches Eyedeea.
  • When sharing from another app on Android, use Share to Eyedeea Photos so metadata stays attached.

If photos arrive without GPS, you can still browse them - but place-based albums, search, and weather overlays will be less accurate until metadata is present.

Upload limits​

Your plan sets storage and photo-count limits. Before uploading, you can see:

  • How much storage you have left
  • How many photos you can still add this period

If you are close to the limit, compress large originals or upgrade your plan.

Household permissions​

Not everyone in a household can upload. The owner controls per-member permissions in Settings → Household Members:

  • Upload - add new photos
  • Download - save originals or albums
  • Curate - run or manage curation jobs
  • Global Filter - create filters visible to all members

If upload is disabled for your account, ask the household owner to enable it.

Good to know​

  • Upload is for new photos. Already-curated albums are managed from Albums.
  • Very large batches are split so processing stays reliable.
  • You can also upload from Albums into a specific folder with Upload here.
