Nokia Share Online 3.0 via Beta Labs

Published by at

Nokia has released a new preview version on its Share Online software via Nokia Beta Labs. Online Share allows you to upload photo from your Nseries phone to popular multimedia hosting services and communities such as Flickr. Version 3.0 of Online Share adds the ability to set privacy options (e.g. private, family only, or public on Flickr). A major addition is the ability to view feeds of photos and comments on them from within the Share Online application. Read on for more details and screenshots.

The new version of Online Share is available via Nokia Beta Labs . It should be considered a preview release and has only been tested with the Nokia N95 and N73 using Flickr as the service provider. Other phones and/or services may work, but there may be glitches. 

As with version 2.0 on you can access Online Share either directly or via the Camera or Gallery applications. You choose the service you want to use and then start adding the appropriate information such as images and a description.

There are now visibility (privacy) options when uploading multimedia. This setting is dependent upon support from the upload service.  As before you can add titles, descriptions and tags to any uploaded images. Images are uploaded with the accompanying information in the background allowing you to continue using your phone.

The Online Share application allows you to subscribe to feeds of photos. This option has to be supported by the service provider as it requries extra functionality compared to simple upload of new multimedia items.

In the Flickr implementation some of these feeds (streams in Flickr language) are set up automatically (your own, your contacts and an everyone feed) when you first use the service.

For any feed you can then browse the last 20 photos for each of these feeds as shown above. New photos are marked with a star while photos with comments are marked with a small comment bubble.

The photos from each feed can be opened to show them on their own page (shown above one from a friends feed, and one of the cat from my feed). From here you can, using the icons on the right-hand-side, view or add comments, view photo information, send a link to the picture via email, add the feed the photo comes from to your subscriptions or visit the Flickr website.
