Backends

In some cases it’s useful to use a kind of backend as dropbox, but in other cases something like a local dir where the photos are stored in or a form in the web could be great sources too.

Dropbox

The dropbox backend connects to the dropbox api to download and save the photos from a proper folder to Django-rgallery. You can activate it by enabling custom dropbox Settings and running the mediasync custom command (Commands) with the proper --storage=dropbox option:

python manage.py mediasync --storage=dropbox

File

The file backend connects to a local folder and download all the photos there, saving them into Django-rgallery. You can activate it by running custom mediasync command (Commands) with the proper --storage=file and --source=/path/to/photos options:

python manage.py mediasync --storage=file --source=/path/to/photos

Form

The form backend is used to save photos from the DropzoneJS input. If you’re a site administrator it will appears in your Django-gallery index page:
