Hi all,
Im not among the most active writers here in the forum, but as a part-time stock photographer I regularly come here and get myself updated with all the new stuff in microstock world.
I travel and work a lot, so something that really bothered me was wasting countless hours of manually uploading files to different agencies over unreliable FTP connections. Uploading 100 pictures this way is painfully inefficient. Doing that from Laos Wifi or on cellular network?
So, I asked a programming friend to help me improve my workflow and we came up with simple solution:
Sync pictures once to Dropbox and distribute them from there through the cloud to all my FTP accounts.
Dropbox handles all the unstable parts of getting files to the internet uncorrupted and securely. I dont even have to monitor that process, I can work offline on selecting, enhancing and keywording photos and then just put them in my local Dropbox folder. Once Im online, Dropbox syncs them and seconds later they are ready to be submitted on all my stock agencies!
This has saved me quite a few hours in the last weeks already and we figured it might be useful for other people too. Since Im a designer by profession and my friend is a developer, we just hit the work hammocks and created a website.
If you want to save some time and repetitive work, you can give it a try now. During the beta its free for unlimited number of photos & FTP accounts. All your photos and FTP credentials stay inside your Dropbox accounts, we dont store any of that on our servers.
Here is how it works
