How do I transfer a photo on my phone to have it show up in my image collection on my computer so I can post the picture on the net? When I try to upload from my phone, it becomes a "post" instead of going to my collection.

ETA: The solution was to delete and re-install the app.

I use Fonetool to transfer images from my phone to my computer and then can upload to Imgur. There may be easier ways, but this works for me.

Click the + icon.
Select the photo.

Click view.
Long press your uploaded photo.
Click imgur copy URL.
Paste the copied URL between img tags in your post.

Boom.

I don't see a view button.

The picture is nowhere to be found on Imgur on my PC.

I know how to post a picture, it's just not there on Imgur.

Upper right corner after you click upload.



Are you logged into your account on the app?

Logged into both the app and PC.

Why don't the app and PC sync the pictures?

It does. I feel like I'm putting more effort into this than you are. Good luck. I'm out.

Sorry that you're frustrated. Imagine how frustrated I am to not be able to work after years of trying.

I did not see the things you described. You told me how to use imgur to host a picture to the internet. I knew how to do that.

If I have a photo on my phone in Imgur, why does it not appear in Imgur on my PC?

Are you logged into the same imgur account on both devices?

Finally solved the solution online.

I had to delete and re-install the app. Now it works!
