# Photo Backup

#### ❓ What types of photos are backed up?

The app backs up:

* Photos from the **Camera** folder (DCIM)
* Screenshots
* Downloads (if enabled)
* Any photo saved in common public folders (e.g., `/Pictures`, `/WhatsApp/Images`)

***

#### ❓ Does it include videos?

No. Only image files (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.webp`, etc.) are backed up.\
Video support may be added in a future release.

***

#### ❓ How often are photos uploaded?

New photos are scanned:

* Every **15–30 minutes** (default), or
* Immediately after being taken, if **“Upload Immediately”** is enabled

***

#### ❓ Will it re-upload the same photo twice?

No. Each photo is uniquely identified (e.g., by file hash or timestamp) to **avoid duplicates**.

***

#### ❓ Can I choose which folders to back up?

Currently, only default folders (such as Camera and Screenshots) are supported.\
Advanced folder selection will be available in a future update.

***

#### ❓ Is photo backup affected by internet connection?

Yes. By default, photos are uploaded **only when the device is connected to Wi-Fi**.\
You can change this behavior in the **Power & Network Settings**.

***

#### ❓ Does photo backup drain battery?

Minimal. Uploads are optimized to run in the background and avoid heavy processing.\
Batch uploads are used when possible to reduce power usage.

***

#### ❓ Are photos compressed or resized?

No. The app uploads the **original full-resolution file** without compression.

***

#### ❓ Where are the backed-up photos stored?

Photos are stored in **cloud storage** linked to your device, securely protected and organized by upload date.
