Can I sync camera to 2 Android devices?

Postby Sammy411 » Wed Jul 04, 2012 1:39 pm

Has anyone done this? Is there any problems doing it? My wife and I would both like copies of our Eye-Fi cameras photos delivered to each of our Android phones.

In an ideal world, I'd also like the sync both Androids to a PC host so that the phones photos/videos also get upload.

Your product is great and your Android app is simple but effective. So glad I 'took the chance' that your product would deliver as expected. It has already exceeded my expectations!

Technically, the card can only have one device (computer, phone, etc.) set to receive photos.

The Android app does have one option which might let you sneak around this limitation. On the first phone that's receiving photos directly from the card, open the Eye-Fi app settings, choose Upload settings and make sure Upload to Computer is on. Then, on the second phone, open the Eye-Fi device settings, and if phone #1 is listed, select it, and if you can, place a check in the box to receive media from phone #1. Now, after your Eye-Fi card sends photos to phone #1, they should forward to phone #2. The phones will both need to be connected to the internet, or at least to the same wi-fi network, for this forwarding to take place.

I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a try!
