Mobile app: adding "Delete after upload" on picture/video files

Hi,

Right now, I synchronize all my media files on my smartphone (iPhone) with the server, in order to have a backup of all my pictures and videos.

While this is a nice thing to have, it would really simplify my life and make me save a lot of time if there was an option to automatically move those files to the trash bin of the phone once they have been successfully uploaded to the server.

I don’t see it as a difficult thing to implement: basically what we need is a toggle button to enable this feature, and when it’s enabled, just delete the media file after it has been uploaded.
But maybe there are more things to consider that I’m not aware of.

  1. Is this feature being considered?
  2. If not: why? If yes: when?

Thank you and keep up the great work.

iOS system has limitations on how other apps deleting the system photos and videos.

So your requirements are not easy to implement and even if it is implemented, it will not be natural to use.

Ah, I didn’t know that indeed. Thank you very much for answering.

Is there a chance that you might implement it one day, or not at all?

We don’t have a plan to implement it at the moment.

But we will continue work on improving user experience based on feedbacks, for both mobile clients and web UI.
