The small, innovative application particularly simplifies uploading several photos. After starting the program simply drag your photos into the DropBox window. The high-performance upload starts immediately, and transfers multiple files in parallel. All locr settings such as keywords, descriptions, image size, password or privacy status will be transferred automatically.
