Help

The queue

How drops save offline and upload on their own.

TraceReach Drop plays this walkthrough on the live app, pointing at one control at a time and waiting for the press. Read its steps here first, in the app's own words, on any phone or laptop.

  1. 01

    Drops save first

    Your drops save to your phone first, then upload on their own, even with no signal. Record one this session and you can watch the queue handle it.

  2. 02

    The queue pill

    This pill counts what you've saved, what's syncing, and what failed, and tells you when you're offline. Tap it to see your drops from this session and retry any that failed. The X hides it until your next drop, and your drops stay in the list.

  3. 03

    Trust the queue

    Keep recording, with or without signal. The queue holds your drops until they upload.

Play it in Drop

Open TraceReach Drop, tap Help in the bottom corner of the camera or the map, then pick The queue.

Help has what the words on your screen mean, and the guides for running a hub.
