The ownCloud Photo Upload was an application for Firefox OS that allowed users to send photos to a specified ownCloud server. Firefox OS was shuttered and the app no longer has any functionality, but the code remains here for reference.
To work on the project, you will need to have a development environment for Firefox OS set up. You might wish to use the App Manager.
For testing purposes, you will need to create a local directory called "gaia" for the Firefox OS to read from. (This is a temporary workaround to avoid the app cycling through every photograph in your local Pictures directory.)
- If testing on an FxOS mobile device: create a “gaia”directory within the phone or tablet’s photo storage area.
- If using the simulator on a computer: create the “gaia” directory inside your default photo directory.
You will also need to create a "gaia" folder in the ownCloud server's "photos" directory to "catch" the uploaded photos.
I (Lyndsey) started this project as part of my internship with GNOME's Outreach Program for Women. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!
Thanks to Alessandro, Jan, Joshua, and Bernhard for their guidance!
