From 25152ddb61a89ea3ea29d3aef5de13343429d32a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Besson Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 18:23:52 +0200 Subject: feat: back up the phone's photos to a group, once a day on Wi-Fi MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Android application sends the photos taken on the phone to one folder of one group chosen by the member (docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §9.12). The phone lists MediaStore, keeps a ledger of what was sent and hands each photo's bytes to the page by an opaque token on the packaged origin; the page decides when a run is due and uploads through the existing path, one photo at a time under a slot. - Once a day from the last finished run, on an unmetered network only; "Back up now" asks first on mobile data. Leaving Wi-Fi stops after the file in flight. - Photos already on the phone are sent by default, newest first, under /YYYY/MM; edits are sent beside the original as -edited-. - Additive by construction: nothing is ever deleted, renamed or replaced on the node, and a photo deleted on the node is not sent again. - A confirmation names the group, owner, members, folder and size when the destination or starting point changes; a lasting refusal (disk full, folder read-only or gone, no longer a member) is said once and retried a day later. - No ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION, so the platform redacts photo locations. - A dataSync foreground service keeps a run going with the screen off. HEIC/HEIF photos are sent but not shown in Photos yet (§15.2).
