Re: Can I choose which date Camera Uploads starts uploading from?

Hi there, Touchdown, thanks for reaching out to us.

 

I'm afraid this is a setting that cannot be changed, but are you sure that the date is from 2022?

 

If you chose to upload new photos only, it should start uploading only the photos and videos you take from now on, not your older ones.

 

Would you mind sending us a screenshot of that, so we can take a closer look?

 

Thanks.

    And you just enabled Camera Uploads recently, without previously having it activated on that device?

     

    I ask because mine says Starting Dec 20, 2022, but that's when I activated Camera Uploads originally.

     

    Edited to add: Maybe uninstall/reinstall the app and see if the date changes? If you try, I'd disable Camera Uploads before the uninstall. Also note that any files marked as Available Offline will need to be marked as such again.

    It worked!!

    I followed your advice "Maybe uninstall/reinstall the app and see if the date changes? If you try, I'd disable Camera Uploads before the uninstall. ".

     

    THANK YOU!
