How it works
01
Ambiguous file matches and conflicting dates require a user decision. An unknown capture date is not replaced with the upload date.Ambiguous file matches and conflicting dates require a user decision. An unknown capture date is not replaced with the upload date.

Before download, the application reads the copies’ metadata again and compares hashes of bytes outside EXIF. A package that fails verification is not offered for download.Before download, the application reads the copies’ metadata again and compares hashes of bytes outside EXIF.
