It's an opt-in thing... <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/photosync" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/help/photosync</a> but if you ignore it/don't think about it/too busy/lazy to delete photos as you go you end up with a shit-ton in an album that you can't easily delete. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-about-facebook-sync#post-1402513 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:24:31 +0000 keiki_mama 1402513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this either! How do you turn it off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-about-facebook-sync#post-1402506 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:18:41 +0000 wheres_c 1402506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard about the facebook photo sync? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-about-facebook-sync#post-1402378 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:26:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 1402378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI, if you opted into the FB picture sync, be aware that it will sync every photo you take like every 20 minutes or something. If you're like me, and take multiple photos of your toddler to try to get a non-blurry one and then don't automatically delete the extras before the sync they'll all go into the private FB album. Which wouldn't be a huge problem but suddenly realizing 7 or 8 months later that you haven't cleared out the sync folder means you're stuck with 2k+ photos and no easy way to delete them (FB says to delete them one by one!) </p> <p>I found out a way to make it go quicker, but geez it's a PITA! Either turn it off, be better than me about deleting the bad photos right away, or delete the synced photos more often! </p>
