Abstract (eng): With the advent of digital photography and the proliferation of cell phone cameras, photography has become an everyday activity, leading to a dramatic increase in the amount of photos that people take.
Even though the photo capturing technology has improved, the methods and tools with which consumers handle this increase in photo volume have not improved fast enough.
Many consumers find moving photos from device to device to be unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming.

For this thesis, we built a prototype of a service using existing technologies that automated the transferral of photos from a capture device - a Nokia N900 cell phone - to an online service that the users could use to browse and share their photos.
The prototype was deployed to a group of test users for a trial period.
Their experiences and feedback were collected with the help of interviews.

Based on our results, we concluded that there is a demand for such a service.
The prototype that we built did not have enough functionality as to being a viable commercial service, but with improvements users would generally have been willing to pay for it.
Giving end-users control over their photos and building their trust are central themes that are critical for such a service.
