But since you transferred photos by Eye-Fi it still applies that you'd need to move or copy them to your desktop (or phone) to have them sent to the Cloud (at least on my 8.9" HD from last year).<br /><br />NOW, on my 7" Kindle Fire HD from last year, I have a choice under Settings/Applications/Photos to enable "Automatic Upload <br /> Save and secure your camera photos to Cloud Drive"<br /><br />But that automatifc feature isn't seen on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" although it IS available on my new HDX 8.9" (for which I've not accepted a Cloud for Photos app yet. <br /><br /> I've not found a feature said to be available for pure Android photo cloud apps -- where a long-press of a photo gives an option to send the photo to the Cloud -- and this again may be just for phones, but this HDX 8,9" HAS a rear-facing 8 Megapixels camera. *Automated* upload of any photo on the tablet IS active though if you turn it 'On' (which is the default -- and normally I'd turn that off).<br /><br /> And strangely, as mentioned above, that automatic upload is available on my 7" HD tablet from last year but not for the 8.9" HD model from last year.

I haven't used EyeFi and I would have sent it to the Cloud if I could via the Photos for Cloud app. <br /><br /> At any rate Amazon has a <a href="http://bit.ly/photos4cloud" rel="nofollow">Photos for Cloud</a> feature. This link takes you to general info for moving photos from desktop to the cloud and then mentions the apps for doing this from your phone or from an Android device with a camera.<br /><br /> In order to get this app, I've said ok to Amazon's offer shown when first pressing 'Photos' on the top menu -- to get the app by giving them the phone's number and then getting the links that result from that. <br /><br /> This generally will let you get photo sets that you've put onto your Amazon Cloud from the phone that way or get photo sets you have on Facebook onto your Cloud and then accessible by your tablet -- but a side feature is that you can go to Settings aned automate it so that any photos on a device with a camera (like the HDX 8.9) will be uploaded to the Cloud automatically.<br /><br /> At any rate, your phone or your desktop gets the app first and as a result uploads your photos directly to the Amazon Cloud and then they are therefore accessible for viewing on or for download to the tablet.<br /><br /> If you want to transfer items from your tablet to your desktop (where they can be put on the Cloud as part of a Cloud-sync'd folder), you can USB-transfer them to the deskgtop OR (wirelessly) use <a href="http://bit.ly/wifi-file-explorer-pro" rel="nofollow">WiFi Explorer Pro</a>, which is downloadable from the Amazon app store.<br /><br /> Does that help?

Ama...Jonny, for now, yes, thanks for the reminder.<br /> Amazon is requesting apps for Europe, so it shouldn't be long for that area. I have no idea of the schedule for other areas though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-40734346925695125022012-11-05T18:17:40.668-08:002012-11-05T18:17:40.668-08:00Looks like it's only for US users.. :(Looks like it's only for US users.. :(Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445841613030053897noreply@blogger.com
