Hi All,

Can someone help fully clarify background uploading of photos for me? Dropbox does it, now Flickr does it, Synology does it...

So if I want all of my photos to be uploaded, what do I need to do, other than check a box in the settings of the app? Does the app need to be open in the background? If I close out all background apps, does that feature cease to exist? Does it time out? I.E. if the app is open in the background, is there some set period where after that, it will no longer automatically upload apps?

I just don't want to set things up where I count on background uploading to work and then I do something on my phone so that a few pics don't get uploaded. Thanks!
