Beyond FTP/FTPS/SFTP, FLOGVIT.photosuite uploads straight to cloud storage and photo platforms. Each is a connection in Settings → Connections, and is used the way an FTP server is: as an upload destination in the UPLOADS section of the folder tree, by a workflow's Export step, or as where a workflow fetches its pictures from.

Supported Services#

Settings, Connections: the servers and services pictures are sent to, each with its own folder and login.
Settings, Connections: the servers and services pictures are sent to, each with its own folder and login.

Press + in Settings → Connections, name the connection and choose its Type.

Amazon S3#

Upload to any S3 bucket: Bucket, Region, Access Key and Secret Key. The upload's folder is a prefix in the bucket.

Dropbox#

Upload to your Dropbox with an Access Token from a Dropbox app. A file whose name is taken in the folder is uploaded under a new name, never over the old one.

Google Drive#

Paste the shared folder's link into Folder link. Sign in once with Sign in with Google (with the Client ID and Client Secret of a Desktop OAuth client from Google Cloud Console), and the connection renews its own access from then on — nothing to paste again. Shared drives work too. The app only sees the folders it has made itself, so to deliver into someone else's folder, give that folder's link.

SmugMug#

A SmugMug connection holds your API Key, OAuth Token and OAuth Secret. The folder of the upload (an Export step's folder, or the upload's destination) says which gallery:

  • the gallery's link or its node id (n-jwH2XQ), or its album address (/api/v2/album/…);
  • or a folder path ending in the gallery's name, such as Clients/Bedriftsidretten/Energistafetten/Energistafetten 2026. A folder or gallery missing on the way is made, Unlisted and unsearchable, and a new gallery is External so a website can show its pictures.

A picture whose file name is in the gallery already is not sent again, so a delivery run twice does not put every picture there twice. A gallery holds at most 5 000 pictures. Given by its folder path, a full gallery spills into one beside it named <name>-2 (then -3), made the same way, and a race gallery built from that path shows them all. A gallery given by its link or node id cannot spill; a full one is reported.

Flickr#

Upload to Flickr with your API Key, OAuth Token and OAuth Secret. Give a photoset's id as the folder and each picture is added to that set.

WebDAV#

Any WebDAV server — Nextcloud, ownCloud, a NAS: URL, username and password.

rclone (40+ Services)#

Any service rclone supports, including Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2, OneDrive, Box, pCloud and Mega. Set the remote up with rclone config first; then choose it under Remote.

Local#

A folder on this computer or a mounted network disk, under Default Path. A relative upload folder is a folder under it.

eventphotos#

Publishing to eventphotos is its own page: eventphotos.

Upload Settings#

The UPLOADS section says how files go to every destination, cloud or FTP alike — RAW+JPEG, the RAW source, an IPTC template, a saved copy, auto-upload — and Settings → Color → Convert to sRGB on upload converts what is not sRGB. See FTP Upload. A file is sent as it is; to send a developed, resized JPEG, use a workflow's Export step or the Export dialog.

Sidecars and voice notes travel with each picture to the services that store files; SmugMug and Flickr take the pictures only.

Upload Queue#

Uploads run in the background. Track progress in the UPLOADS section:

  • Per-file status: queued, sending, done or failed
  • Retry failed uploads
  • Clear done and Clear sent
  • A picture already sent from the folder is not sent again
