You can save (or upload)
pictures you take on your phone to the Web, where they’re easier to
share. In Windows Phone 7 there are two possible destinations for your
shots: Facebook or Windows Live SkyDrive, Microsoft’s free online
storage service. As you might expect, Microsoft has made SkyDrive an
especially attractive destination. In fact, as long as you have an
Internet connection, your phone can automatically save pictures you
take to Windows Live, which can store up to 25 gigabytes’ worth of
shots. That makes SkyDrive a handy backup bin in case you accidentally
lose your phone.
1. Upload a Picture
In the Pictures hub, find a photo you want to upload. (Sorry, no videos allowed.)
Tap Share.
Choose
whether to upload your photo to Facebook or SkyDrive. If you want to
add a caption, tap the caption text box, and then tap Upload.
Otherwise, wait for Windows Phone to finish sending your photos.
Tip:
You’ll find photos uploaded to Facebook in Photos > My Uploads > Mobile Uploads on the Facebook site.
2. Turn On Automatic Uploading
On Start, flick left to the Apps list, and then tap Settings.
Flick to Applications, and then tap Pictures + Camera.
Tap to turn on Auto Upload to SkyDrive.
Choose a sharing permissions option.
Tap OK.
Warning:
Photos you’ve taken
before you turn on automatic uploading are not retroactively uploaded
to Windows Live SkyDrive. Only photos you take after you turn on this
feature are automatically saved there.
Tip:
To see photos you’ve uploaded
to Windows Live, visit photos.live.com and sign in with the Windows
Live ID you’ve registered on your phone. Your photos are in the Mobile
Photos folder.
