Upload Photos to an RxPhoto Client Record

Upload Photos to an RxPhoto Client Record

This article will review how to upload client photos to RxPhoto that were taken before or outside the RxPhoto app. Typically, an office would have these "old" photos stored either on their computer, or on their device (iPhone or iPad). If the photos you would like to upload are stored somewhere else, such as a DSLR SD card, you will need to upload the photos from your SD card to the computer before being able to upload them into your RxPhoto account. 

If the old photos you would like to upload to RxPhoto are on your computer,  jump to "Uploading Photos from Your Computer."
If the old photos you would like to upload to RxPhoto are on your device (iPhone/iPad), see below:

Large Batch Uploading

At this time, RxPhoto allows you to add photos to client records one client at a time. If you have a large amount of data across many clients, this may seem like an inordinate task. In order to successfully upload your photos to the correct client records, it is recommended to do this in small portions at a time. For instance, take a look at your client schedule for next week, or tomorrow, and only upload the old photos for those particular clients. This way, you are uploading small batches, and over time you will have the majority of your old client photos uploaded into your RxPhoto client records.

There are also third party providers that have custom built solutions for migrating large amounts of data. The cost ranges from ~$2000-$7000 due to many factors. If you would like an introduction to one of these third party solutions, please contact RxPhoto at  support@rxphoto.com.


Summary

There are several ways to upload photos taken outside the RxPhoto App to an RxPhoto client record:
  1. From the RxPhoto App if the photos are stored on your device (iPhone/iPad)
  2. From the  RxPhoto Website  if the photos are stored on your computer.
For large batch uploads, RxPhoto suggests you either:
  1. Work in small batches based on your upcoming schedule of clients.
  2. Reach out to  support@rxphoto.com  for information on third party solutions for transferring data.
