What is MojoPhoto?
MojoPhoto is your single solution to not only secure backup of your precious photos, but also be able to share them at your descretion
Why should I use MojoPhoto?
A great question! There a ton of photo sharing and file backup sites and systems out there. However, there are very few, if any at all, that really provide both. Our first goal is to give you a safe way to backup all your photos. We do not alter or touch your originals, unless you specifically do something that requires us to, but we warn you in those cases. Almost all photo sharing sites alter your uploaded photos. They either shrink them, or even change their format! We also offer sharing with extreme flexibility on who you can share them with. Most backup systems do not offer sharing.
Who is MojoPhoto?
MojoPhoto was started by a couple of guys in Austin, TX who were tired of either using restrictive photo backup services, or were fed up with photo sharing services altering their photos and holding them for ransom. They got together, and in their spare time made the site you see today. Now that the core of it is done, they are now relentlessly making it the best photo backup and sharing site out there by adding new features at fast pace.

The first steps after signing up.

I registered. Now what?
After you registered, received your confirmation email, and clicked on the link, you should no be able to log in. Whenever you visit the site and want to manage your photos click on the Login link located at the top-right of the page. This will take you to your album list page.
Album List Page
The album list page lists, well, your albums. You will come here after logging in, or you can reach here anytime by clicking on a number of links like the one at the top of the page titles ‘My Albums’. There is a big button to create a new album. If you want to edit an album, click the ‘Edit’ button in each of the album listings. Or, you can just click in the general area of each album to go view it.
Upload some photos
When you create an album, or edit one, you will be in the Album Edit page. There is a HUGE button titled appropriately ‘Upload’. Click it, choose some photos, and start uploading. There is a progress bar that will show you how many have been uploaded, so make sure you don’t leave the page until it is finished.
Share them!
Once the photos are uploaded, they are already shared! If you want to give a link out you can view the album by going back to your album list, and clicking on the album to reach the viewing page.
Or keep them hidden.
If you just want to backup your photos, but now show anyone, that is fine too. When you edit an album there is a series of Lock icons next to the album name at the top. You can either click the Locked icon so no one can see your photo album, or even password protect it by clicking the key icon and typing in a password. NOTE! You will probably also want to Lock your ‘All Photos’ album too.
