When I updated to the new WD Photo app to 2.0 I got the a pop-up asking if I wanted to activate Auto-upload from my phone’s photo gallery to my MBL. I clicked yes, and checked the box to upload all current pics from my phone. Nothing happened so I went to the settings and made sure that Auto Upload was activated…still not auto uploading happening. I then, in the app, clicked menu, tips and under tip #3 it states, “…to track upload status, add the WD Photos widget to your home screen or view your Android device’s notification bar.”
So, I went to add the widget but there is no WD Photos widget to be added, and there is nothing in my notification bar indicating that auto-uploading is happening.
Is there something I am doing wrong to get the auto-upload feature to work? I would love this new feature to work as it will make moving pics from my phone to MBL that much easier.
I checked and nothing has been added. When I do a manual upload from within the app a folder with my email as its name is created and the pictures are in there.
If you can’t see widgets in Android it’s because your app is on the SD Card. You’ll want to move the app to the phone memory in order to add the widget.
I moved the app to my phone storage, and the widget is still not there. Does this also explain why my pictures are not automatically uploaded? Please let me know what you figure out.
