How do they upload all the data? An avid photo shooter who uses an iPhone5 can create a lot of data on a regular basis.

Hi, cofounder of Loom here. We upload all of your photos and videos and want to make that experience as easy and transparent as possible. We have especially focussed on being able to manage uploads/syncing for a lot of data since many people have libraries north of ~100GB.

Does this mean we will be able to import our existing libraries in a painless (or at least not too painful) way?

I haven't tried Loom, but from the description it sure sounds like exactly what I've (we've?) been waiting for...

I don't want this to look like a feature request (wink wink) but if you coud have a way to sync some collections with other services (flickr in my case, for example) then you've hit the jackpot...

Yes exactly, that's the goal. Both things you mention (seamless upload/integration of existing libraries and importing your favorite photo apps) are on top of our list.

ok take my money: ££ :)

you can upload data over wifi or cellular network. It won't take up space on your device, i.e. 10GB of photos/videos from your library will just be 300mb on your iPhone.
