How to Upload Images with the Android Uploader:
To begin, open the SSB Uploader app on your Android device.
Login Page:
Enter your SSB Username and Password and tap Sign in to continue.
Main Page:
In the middle of the page, two upload options are available: Upload From Gallery and Upload From Camera. From app version 3 onward, there is also a button to Change Upload Settings.
Change Upload Settings (app version 3+): Tap this to quickly open image upload settings (see Upload Settings heading, below).
Upload From Gallery: Tap this option to choose from existing photos on your phone. A page should open showing all of your phone's images, sorted from most to least recent. (If your images are not shown, check your phone settings to make sure that SSB Uploader has permission to access your photos.) Tap on a photo to select it. You may select up to 25 images to upload. If you change your mind about an image, simply tap it again to deselect it. You can also tap Cancel to deselect everything and return to the main page without uploading anything. Once your images are selected, tap OK, and your selected images will begin uploading.
Upload From Camera: Tap this option to take a new photo. Your phone's camera app should open. (If it does not, check your phone settings to make sure that SSB Uploader has permission to use your phone's camera.) Take the photo. If it didn't come out right, tap Retry (or the retry arrow) and take the photo again. Otherwise, tap OK (or the checkmark), and the photo you took will automatically begin uploading.
OVERFLOW MENU:
If you tap the 3-dot menu icon in the top right of the Main Page, an overflow menu will open. Help provides the app's current version and instructions to get started. You can also move to the Upload Settings page, Email Support, or Log Out. (Note: In app versions prior to 3, the Log Out option is located within Settings, instead.)
Uploading:
A progress bar for your uploading image(s) will be shown. When it reaches 100%, and your upload is complete, you will be returned to the main page.
Note: Screenshots in image above were taken in version 3.
Upload Settings:
The following options are found within Upload Settings:
SSB ACCOUNT IMAGE SETTINGS:
Here, you can set the Width and Quality you want your photos to have when uploaded to our server. The available options are identical to those in our web uploaders.
Tap Image Category to choose an existing Image Manager category, or create a new category by choosing the Custom Category option, entering a name, and tapping Ok. (Note: Custom Category is the first option in the Category list, above Uncategorized. You may need to scroll up to see it.) The new custom category will be shown on the Upload Settings page preceded by "Custom:" (for example: "Custom:Flowers").
(i) Note: Changing image upload settings before uploading your image(s) is optional. If you do not select a Width / Quality before uploading images, the app will use the Width / Quality most recently used to upload images to your SSB account, whether via the app or one of our web uploaders. If you do not select an Image Category before uploading images, the app will use the Image Category most recently used to upload images during this app session, if applicable, or else use the default Image Category: Uncategorized.
WATERMARK SETTINGS:
If you have a Watermark established in your web account, you have the option of watermarking your images. Checkmark the checkbox to use a watermark, or un-check it to leave it out. (If you do not have a watermark, no watermark will be added, regardless of whether the box is checked or not.) The app will remember whether or not this box is checked.
When you're satisfied with the current settings, simply tap the Back button on your Android device to return to the main page and start uploading with your new image and watermark settings.
Note: Screenshots in image above were taken in version 3.
