Introduction to the Photo Timeline
The Photo Timeline has 2 sections. Photos and Albums.
The Photo Timeline shows all your photos and videos. Both photos located locally on your mobile device and photos from your computers are displayed here. This way you can see ALL your photos no matter where you are.
The pictures are organized by time. The newest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. The information is retrieved from the photo's metadata.
Remember to enable automatic backup in the app:
Navigate the timeline
The timeline is sorted in time, ie. your most recent photo or video is placed at the top and the oldest photo is at the bottom.
The photo's info comes directly from the photo's metadata.
Use the wheel on the right side of the screen to whiz through your photos. The wheel appears as soon as you scroll up or down in your photos.
How do I know if there is a backup?
No backup: When Onlime finds a photo or video that has not been backed up yet, a photo of a cloud with a dash through it appears on the photo.
Backup has started: When backing up, a rotating icon is displayed. When the backup is complete, the icon disappears.
Pictures and videos without an icon mean that a backup has been taken.
