Troubleshoot issues with camera upload

Troubleshooting basic problems

When you encounter the following problems using the "Camera Upload" function, you can solve them with the solutions in this article.

  • Unable to upload photos/videos automatically

  • File upload failure

  • An unknown error occurred

 

Make sure your operating system is up to date

Check to see if the operating system on your device is supported by ASUS WebStorage. If it's not, upgrade to the latest version.

  • iOS：
    iOS 12 or higher

  • Android：
    Android 8 or higher

 

Prevent iPhone/ iPad from going into lock mode

ASUS WebStorage App for iOS does not support background uploads. Please keep your iPhone/iPad screen awake and stay on the ASUS WebStorage App while uploading.

 

 

Check internet connection

If you're using a cellular network on your device, please ensure the signal strength is full. If it is weak, try to move to another location or switch to a Wi-Fi network.

If you are using a Wi-Fi network, please ensure that the Wi-Fi is connected.

 

 

Check if the ASUS WebStorage App is up to date

Please go to Google Play or App Store to check if the app has released the new version.

 

Check the camera upload settings on your device

Make sure your camera upload settings are as you expect：

  • If you want to back up all photos and videos on your device, select the [Backup all photos] option and turn on the [include videos] toggle in the "Backup information" section.

  • If you want to upload photos automatically even when using a cellular network, please make sure you have turned on the [Use cellular data for backup when there is no Wi-Fi] toggle in the “Backup options” section.
