Alert Details

It is calculated based on the amount used, your current Weekly Schedule and the last 10 images that have uploaded. The calculation does not consider future Events. The estimated date of the Total Photo Uploads allocation being reached can be found on the feed's Schedule tab in Buildcam.

Your Total Photo Uploads data allocation is based on your chosen Cloud Services plan.

Your best course of action depends on your chosen Cloud Services plan.
