Uploading Photos and Videos
Monument has two upload options that can be selected during setup: Automatic or Manual. Automatic Upload scans your iOS or Android device and backs up all of your new photos and videos to Monument. Manual Upload allows you to select which photos to upload and when to upload.
Note: Uploading for the first time may take longer if there are a lot of photos
and videos to back up.
Tip: If near Monument, Keep Bluetooth on so the app can automatically upload in background.
Automatic Upload (iOS)
- Settings > Upload
- Turn on "Auto-Upload"
- Upload Progress in Settings
- Upload Progress Bar in Photo Gallery
Automatic Upload (Android)
- Settings > Auto-Upload > Turn On > Select Folders
Manual Upload (iOS and Android)
- Settings > Upload > Turn Off "Auto-Upload"
- Click the upload icon in the photo gallery
- Select photos to upload

Hi... I got 2 questions about the uploading :
1 Is it possible that (while syncing) my footage will be moved to my monument istead of copied? So my memory on my devices will be empty again.
2 Will Monument reconize same photo's ?

Hi there!
1. Your photos and videos are copied to the hard drive connected to Monument. If you're using an iPhone, you can go to Settings --> Free up space on my phone. This feature will move all content that has already been backed up to your "Recently Deleted" album in your iPhone. From that album, you can permanently delete the content.
2. Monument recognizes duplicate photos and will not upload the same photo. However, if a photo is a different resolution or has an edit, then Monument will back up both.
I bought Monument thinking that it will scan and automatically find all the pictures on my laptop and various hard drives and sd cards cards etc. Will the Monument perform auto scan and find all the pictures in my various hard drives ?

That's a great question! Monument automatically backs up from iOS and Android devices (not computers).
