MightyText web app lets you sync photos, videos from Android to PC

MightyText adds photo and video sync between Android phones and web app

Ever since its official introduction two years ago, MightyText has seemed to expand its laundry list of features on an annual basis. Today is no exception, as the company is now adding “iCloud-like” syncing to its web app. As a refresher, MightyText acts as a client that syncs information between your computer and your Android device, giving you the ability to read and send SMS / MMS, look at your contacts, view your call logs and more from any browser. Now, photos and videos — along with an indicator and notifications regarding your phone’s battery life — are getting thrown into the mix as well. You can auto-upload (over WiFi and data, though you can opt out of the latter) your multimedia as you capture them, and once it arrives on the web app, it’s easily downloadable or shareable, depending on what you want to do.

While the feature is in beta, there’s also no limit to how much storage space you use up, and there’s no auto-delete function after any amount of time, so feel free to upload to your heart’s content. The only setback is that the images are compressed to ease the burden on your bandwidth (and data plan), so you’ll want to seek out other services if you need the full enchiladas. MightyText’s official statement on the new features is below the break, as is a link to check out their web app.

Facebook trials photo auto-upload feature on iOS

Facebook reveals photo autoupload feature on iOS  if you're the lucky few

If you were already loving the lazy cloud storage skills of Dropbox and Google Plus‘ automated photo upload on iOS, you might have also thought Facebook would be the ideal place for it. The social network seems to think so too, as its latest app tweak (for a handful of people included in its early trial) offers a Photo Sync option that works in an identical manner to its Android opposite. Fear not, all photos taken will be whisked to an unpublished album to avoid any embarrassing early photo reveals. We’ve not been granted access to the test just yet, but you can reacquaint yourself with how it all works at Facebook’s official explanation at the source.
