What are Buckets?
A bucket is the name you assign to a group of photos or a photo shooting event or session. For example, if you are shooting sporting events, you may want to organize your buckets using names like "2023 March Sportsball Shoot", "2023 Spring Charity Golf Tournament", or "2023 Indoor Lawndart Expo". Buckets can be created for each specific event, or you can name your buckets for each client you work for. Certain special characters are not allowed in bucket names and you will be warned if you enter an unsupported character.
Photo Size Requirements and Recommendations
The largest single uploaded file size allowed is 50mb.
Your file space usage includes the space required to store your original image files plus a 160 pixel high thumbnail preview copy of the original file that is used for the file view option.
