We have two ways of sync performed in Pics.io: manual (full & partial) and auto-sync (currently, available for Google Drive storage only).ĭealing with big libraries, you might not require syncing a whole library running the full sync. Read more about deleting files from Pics.io. Pics.io simply moves them to the trash folder of your storage provider, from where you can easily restore them or completely delete them if necessary. If you delete some assets inside Pics.io, these files are not really deleted on the storage side. After the sync has been completed, you will receive the corresponding email and notification in Pics.io UI. During the data syncing process, it is not possible to make changes to those files in your Pics.io library. Once you press the 'Sync now' button, the Pics.io system is trying to catch all the information updated in your storage connected to the app. The title of your asset, its description, all kinds of marks such as color, star rating, flags, and other information from your custom fields you may have entered in Pics.io - all this information will remain available even after you download your asset and work with it outside Pics.io, e.g. It will make Pics.io keep the structure you have created in your storage.Īnd vice versa, the changes made in your collections and digital assets in Pics.io are automatically pushed to the working folder or S3 bucket.Īll the metadata from standardized EXIF/IPTC fields and individual custom fields are replicated and safely stored within your original files located on the cloud storage. After the sync takes place, the system pulls all the files and folders from your Google Drive/Amazon S3 with all the changes you may have made there.

It is possible to organize your assets in folders in the way you like inside your cloud storage. When you upload any files or make some changes to them directly in your Google Drive or Amazon S3, it is necessary to make sync for these updates to be displayed in your Pics.io account.

Pics.io system works only with files stored in this folder/S3 bucket, and we never touch other files or folders outside the connected repository. You may upload your photos, videos, and other assets to a folder/S3 bucket connected to your Pics.io account. Pics.io is using a cloud repository ( Google Drive/ Amazon S3) to store all your files.
