How do I upload to another online site? (FAQ)

Fo2Go allows you to upload pictures to any (or all) other online sites where you can post pictures by sending an email with an attachment.  To do this, you usually need a specific email address for your account at that online site.  This works for Blogger, Vox, Posterous, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Youtube, Myspace, Photobucket, and many others... even Walmart.com!  Your picture or video will also go to your fo2go online account.  Just follow the directions below and give it a try!

Example of how to send photos to Flickr:

a) Go to (Flickr email instructions) where you can learn how to generate a custom email address for uploads (if you don't already have one).

b) EITHER
Login to your account on Fo2Go.com, go to the Contacts page, and click the Create New Contact link to set up a “Flickr” contact with your personal flickr email upload address.  Be sure to check the box that says “Is this an email contact”; this tells the Fo2Go server to send each picture individually as an email attachment, rather than as a link back to photos on Fo2Go.com. Click the Save button to save this contact.
OR, ...
From the  iphone fo2go app click the "Add Tag" icon on the home tab, and then create a Flickr contact, again using your personal flickr email upload address.  All contacts created from the fo2go iphone app are automatically set to send media as an attachment.

c) select the flickr contact on your iphone app, and future pictures or videos will automatically be sent to your flickr account!


Other sites are similar, but you may have to search the site’s FAQ’s or HELP to find out how to upload via email.  Once you get your specific email address for uploads, just add it as a unique new fo2go contact, and when you send pictures to that contact with fo2go, you pictures will automatically be sent to the other site!

Examples for Myspace and Facebook email addresses:

Myspace: Login,
click on “My Account” link (upper right navigation bar)
click on “Mobile” link
look for email address under “Send Photos From Your Phone”

Facebook: Go to this page and follow the "Send my upload email to me now" link: facebook email instructions
