# Photo Backup #### ❓ What types of photos are backed up? The app backs up: * Photos from the **Camera** folder (DCIM) * Screenshots * Downloads (if enabled) * Any photo saved in common public folders (e.g., `/Pictures`, `/WhatsApp/Images`) *** #### ❓ Does it include videos? No. Only image files (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.webp`, etc.) are backed up.\ Video support may be added in a future release. *** #### ❓ How often are photos uploaded? New photos are scanned: * Every **15–30 minutes** (default), or * Immediately after being taken, if **“Upload Immediately”** is enabled *** #### ❓ Will it re-upload the same photo twice? No. Each photo is uniquely identified (e.g., by file hash or timestamp) to **avoid duplicates**. *** #### ❓ Can I choose which folders to back up? Currently, only default folders (such as Camera and Screenshots) are supported.\ Advanced folder selection will be available in a future update. *** #### ❓ Is photo backup affected by internet connection? Yes. By default, photos are uploaded **only when the device is connected to Wi-Fi**.\ You can change this behavior in the **Power & Network Settings**. *** #### ❓ Does photo backup drain battery? Minimal. Uploads are optimized to run in the background and avoid heavy processing.\ Batch uploads are used when possible to reduce power usage. *** #### ❓ Are photos compressed or resized? No. The app uploads the **original full-resolution file** without compression. *** #### ❓ Where are the backed-up photos stored? Photos are stored in **cloud storage** linked to your device, securely protected and organized by upload date. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
