"Offline" Tab in My Account
Switch from the Profile tab to the Offline tab to access these features:
Upload Status
See real-time progress when items are uploading:
Progress bar and upload counts
"View Queue" button to see what's uploading
Reminder to keep app open during uploads
Storage Information
See total storage used and number of files
"View Files" button to browse saved images
"Refresh" button to update statistics
Settings
Force Offline Mode
Prevent glitches when phone is switching between online and offline
Gives you control over if ContentsPal is in offline mode
No automatic uploads while enabled
Pause Autosync
Temporarily stop automatic uploads to save data or battery
Useful when you have slow cell service
Your photos and data stay safely stored on your device
Resume uploads anytime by turning this off
Low Battery Mode
Uploads photos more slowly and lets the screen sleep, to stretch the battery through the rest of the day
Turns on by itself when the battery drops below 20%, and you'll see a warning at the top of the screen
Also turns on if you switch on your phone's own Low Power Mode (iOS) or Battery Saver (Android)
Your photos still upload — just a few at a time instead of all at once, so nothing is left behind
Turn it on yourself at any battery level, or turn it off if you'd rather upload at full speed. Turning off an automatic switch-on lasts until the phone is charged again — or, if your phone's own power saving mode switched it on, until you turn that off
Dismissing the warning at the top of the screen hides it until the battery has been charged and your phone's power saving mode is off again — so it won't keep reappearing while you work
This setting applies to this phone only, not to your account
Upload Queue Mode
Use this at the end of the day, when you want the phone to finish sending everything before you stop watching it.
Tap Upload Queue Mode on the Offline tab and the screen turns black, with a progress bar showing how much of the queue is left. The phone is kept awake the whole time, so uploading carries on instead of stopping when the screen would normally go dark — plug the device into power before you start.
Tap the X in the corner to leave at any time. Anything still queued keeps uploading in the background as usual
When the queue is empty the screen says so, stops keeping the phone awake, and closes itself after a moment, leaving the phone to go to sleep on its own
If Pause Autosync or Low Battery Mode was on, the screen turns it off so uploads can run at full speed, and tells you it has done so. Both go back to how you had them as soon as you close the screen
