Hello oC developers,

I'm currently building a Firefox OS mobile app that automatically backs up
photo and video media from the device to ownCloud. Since this is my first
time developing for mobile, I'm unsure of the best way to handle automatic
photo uploads.

My initial idea was to check device storage every few hours and upload any
new media to ownCloud. I'm not sure if this is the most effective manner of
handling this. I know that the Google Plus backup on my phone, for example,
uploads my pictures in batches. However, I'm not sure how it decides when
to check for new photos and when to upload. (Should the app also, for
example, wait until the user connects to wifi to upload the media? I am not
sure how I would access this information on Firefox OS.)

If anyone could offer general advice regarding syncing from mobile devices,
that would be great. I'd love to hear from other developers who have
experience implementing similar functionality.

Thanks,
Lyndsey
