Auto Photo Import from USB (SD card)

[Eliaz]

Dear Comunity!

I am an austrian photographer and trying to find a way to import photos automatically from an external SD card to a special folder on your phone.
does anybody has a clue how the flow and tasks has to be set that it will work?

The phone should automatically recognize when I put the SD card in the reader wich is conected to the phone and should copy all raw files (photos) to the camera folder.
From the camerafolder they are automaticaly uploaded to lightroom mobile...but thats already a nother topic that works.

Hope to get some help.

thank you!

Hi there!

There would be a few ways to do this.

1.) Automatically with a SD card trigger here.

Or

2.) A manual quick notification toggle trigger.

Hope that helps!!

Hi Yam,

I have a sd Card reader conectet to the phone. I need to find a task/programming in an app like automate or tasker that downloads the photos automatically. I dont know how to do it.
I am attatching an example jpg.

I suggest using the FILE OBSERVER trigger in automagic.

Automate is alright, but is lacking compared to automagic.

Connect the SD reader to your phone. Configure the trigger directory to be in the location of your SD reader.

download:

Unplug it (wait) and replug it in. If it starts on unplug, msg back for support. If it doesn't work at all - We'll try something else

I installed automagic. do you know where i find the FILE OBSERVER trigger and configure it?
I have no expirence with automagic
thank you in advance!

[Eliaz]

just found it!

so my first action is:

action 1: file observer (i choosed the conected sd card in the conected cardreader)

action 2: move files ( i choosed as source the sd card folder with the raw files and as movedestination the camer folder on the Samsung)

when i conect and disconect the cardreader nothing happens. maybe i need more actions or other action so it works?

[Yam]

what do you have selected in the file observer?
on access?
