Uploading photos and videos
Everything you upload lives in your Nimbus library, and you choose which frames show it by adding it to a playlist (next chapter).
From your phone
- Open the Nimbus app and tap the Photos tab.
- Tap On My Phone.
- iPhone: your photo library appears as a grid. Tap the photos or videos you want.
- Android: tap Choose photos or Choose videos and pick from your phone's picker.
- Tap Upload Selected.
- A sheet lists your playlists. Pick one, or scroll to the bottom and tap Don't add to a playlist (they still go in your library). Cancel stops the upload.
- When it finishes you'll see Uploaded N file(s) successfully!
Videos upload the same way and show a VIDEO badge in your library.
If something doesn't upload
- If some files fail, the app lists why and shows Retry failed (N). Tap it to try those again.
- Very large files may be refused.
- Photo limit reached means your plan's photo limit is full. Delete photos you no longer need, or upgrade your plan.
Show one photo on a frame right now
In the Photos tab, select one photo, tap Show on Frame, and choose the frame. It shows for 5 minutes, then the frame goes back to its playlist. (Videos can't be shown this way.)
Another way in
On the Frames tab, tap + then Add Photos (photos only, not videos). The first choice there is worded My Photos (no playlist).
