How to upload the same pictures multiple times

Postby Andrey » Fri Jan 22, 2010 12:34 am

Once picture is transferred to PC I do not know how to transfer it again.
Appreciate advice on that.

Thank you.

once the a photo is uploaded by the Eye-Fi Card, the card will not upload that photo again.

If the photo has been delivered to your computer, I would recommend using the photo that's on your computer and uploading it to a destination of your choice.

Jinjorge's suggestion may be easier, however another option is to rename the file on the Eye-Fi card, it will think it's a new photo and upload it again.

I did it yesterday, 2 of my most recent pictures for some reason were showed partialy then, from my file location i resend it to the eye.fi card without rename it and they was retransmited to the computer.
When the computer ask me if i want to replace the old picture with the new one said yes, try it

I just bought an eye-fi card and I was looking for the same feature. I'm not sure I understand the procedure cited in the last post, is it possible to have a clearer explanation?

If it turns out not to be possible, as jinjorge suggests, would it make sense to open a Feature Request in the relevant board? (my camera doesn't allow renaming photos in place, and it seems a workaround to a missing feature to me)

Battlehorse,
Eye-Fi Center allows you to re-post the photos to another online destination if that is what you are looking to do. If not please clarify.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. What I'd like is the eye-fi card to re-transfer to the local pc the pictures it contains, possibly under user-specified conditions.

- take a picture with the camera
- eye-fi card transfers the picture to a local computer
- for whatever reason, I remove the picture from the local computer (suppose I accidentally delete it, but there could be other cases).
=> the eye-fi card won't re-trasmit the picture, since it has already uploaded it once.

This could be a configurable options on the eye-fi helper app, maybe? Something like a checkbox saying "re-transfer everything on card", rather than "just transfer the new pictures that haven't been transferred since the last sync."

I have this problem too. I deleted a folder of pictures by accident. I had just downloaded them off the card, but now I can't get them back. And if I try to use the card as a regular SD card, my computer doesn't recognize it.

I think a 'sync' function that would copy back any pictures that weren't where they should be would be good.

What operating system are you using?
Are you using the Eye-Fi Card Reader?
Have you tried other USB ports?

You're not missing anything... that's a spambot making a random post that it thinks is related to the topic at hand.

I appreciate your idea here. Definitely it has a good content.

I don't know if it works with other cameras, but on the Canon 550D even if the Eye-Fi card has downloaded to a computer, you can connect the camera with a USB lead to the computer and download again.

I'm a new user and see another reason why it should be possible to upload from the Eye-Fi SD card multiple times: When on a vacation I want to wirelessly upload photos to my iPad and/or iPhone (or Android or whatever) for viewing and backup (have had a camera lost or stolen more than once while on vacation), but I also want to upload everything to my home PC/Mac when my vacation is over. The Eye-Fi card only allows one upload to one host (mobile or PC), and then won't upload to another "host" or even allow manual override or forced upload a second or third time.

I know I can jump through hoops to get all photos into my Pictures folder on the PC/Mac, i.e., transferring from the mobile device, merging, etc. but it is very tedious.

If the Eye-Fi card supported multiple concurrent mobile and PC hosts and treated them independently, then I could upload while travelling and also upload when I get home.

Why you need to upload it again? Just copying the same picture on your PC is OK. Easy job.
