Description

It would be a nice feature if the app would delete automatic uploaded pictures after a amount of time.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Example for this use case:

  1. on vacation I take pictures and in the evening I load them up into the NC.
  2. I get home after around 3 weeks and like to share them with some friends

For now I need to look in the paperbin for the uploaded pictures, If I like to share them I need to recreate the picture. Share it and delete it again.

At worst case the picture is uploaded again.
