Move pictures from app to laptop to upload later

Prepare to have a large hard drive if you take a lot of photos and possibly want to keep the photos after upload. I recommend that your computer should be on a wired connection to help speed up the upload process.

NOTE: I’m running an Android phone connected to a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

Here is a wiki guide on how to extract the mapillary photos from an ios device: https://github.com/mapillary/UserGuide/wiki/Transferring_Photos_From_Device

Here is a guide someone already posted: Page not found

I have a folder setup on my Windows at E:\mapillary

Then I have subfolders listed like so:

E:\mapillary\_pending
E:\mapillary\_upload
E:\mapillary\_complete

I have the python scripts that were downloaded from https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/tree/master/python at my E:\mapillary folder.

If you have mapillary using the SDcard pictures and their sequence folders are located here \Card\Android\data\app.mapillary\files\mapillary
If you do not use the SDcard: \Phone\Android\data\app.mapillary\files

Everyday or every 2 days I move (cut and paste) all my mapillary photos off my phone onto computer.
If an upload is inprogress, I put the folders into E:\mapillary\_pending
If there is no upload in progress, I put the folders into E:\mapillary\_upload

Then I run my command prompt and make sure its sitting at my E:\mapillary folder and then I execute:

upload.py E:\mapillary\_upload --upload_subfolders
