Camera Usage

Open tobihagemann opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Using the camera directly for taking photos/videos seems to be a common feature among apps by the cloud storage services. :wink: Could be a useful feature if you don't want the photo/video end up in the Photos app.

I think implementing issue https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator-ios/issues/20 is much more important, because most people just use standard tools for taking photos, and want them to be backed up.

This would be awesome as well. Camera upload is definitely an awesome feature as well but being able to bypass storing it in photo gallery and uploading to the vault directly would be awesome .

Held off on commenting in the past to avoid bumping but since this is being discussed now... My primary use case for this is to snap photos of outgoing personal and business check payments for my record keeping. The built-in camera is not suitable for that task since the photo would be automatically synced to iCloud and/or OneDrive like the rest of my mobile photos.

My second use case for this is directing a photo to a specific directory rather than performing a triage of my entire collection of mobile photos later (which, tbh, never happens). If I am out of the office and need to scan a document it would be great to navigate to the correct directory, take the photo, and let it upload in the background knowing that it's both encrypted and properly organized.

I agree that #20 is a much more common use case. Can the title of this task be updated to something more explicit like Direct capture of photos and video?

https://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/upupu/id508401854?mt=8 This code is listed publicly as well which uploads photos directly to WebDAV. Is it possible to use the copy the WebDAV address that one obtains from the Cryptomator program?

@wangkesen No this is not possible. The webdav address from the Cryptomator program works only on your local computer. You will not be able to use it from within an app on your phone.

Using UIImagePickerController this feature is a low hanging fruit because it is easy to implement.
