Hi Raquel,

Photos one by one uploading and It can take a long time. For this, application can upload photos more than one, maybe 5 or 6 photos uploading same time.

Scenario 1, upload photos/videos one by one:

• Each photo/video uploads with maximum bandwith available
• The upload per photo/video is quicker as only one photo uses the bandwidth
• The other photos/video are left in queue until the photo/video that are being uploaded is done.

Scenario 5, upload multiple photos/videos at the same time

• 5 photos/videos are uploaded at the same time with maximum bandwidth available
• Each photo/video takes longer time to upload due to that each photo/video share the maximum bandwidth available.
• The queue is not halted becuase other photos/videos are uploaded at the same time.

Question:

• How can scenario 2 be faster if the maximum bandwidth is used in both cases? Each photo/video would just take longer time to upload.

IMHO:

• I think 2 (maximum 3) photos/videos at the same time would be nice as if one video is very big it stops the other photos from being uploaded that are in que. If you are in a place with bad reception it means that other photos could have time to upload even if another big video is uploaded at the same time = more efficient.
