"stream" folder.
Note: If an error occurs during uploading, a "fail to upload" folder is automatically created, and the
images are copied there.
The following types of images are supported.
Images with the following extensions are supported:
jpg, jpeg, gif, png, tiff
Notes:
• The size of the image files may be displayed as 0 bytes until the image file data is completely
transferred, but the file size is displayed correctly after the file is opened.
• After copying of the image file is completed, it may take some time for completion of uploading of
the files to Flicker.
