There are a few apps that will sync the photos in your camera roll back to iPhoto wirelessly. But I figured there is a much simpler way:
1. If you haven’t already got a Dropbox account, go and set one up at www.dropbox.com and then download the Dropbox app from the iTunes AppStore here.
2. Create new folder in your DropBox called something relevant like “PhotoSync”
3. Open the Automator app and start a new project of type “Folder Action”
4. Select the folder you created above to attach the Folder Action to
5. Add a Finder Action of “Find Finder Items” and define it as below (Kind is Image)
3. Add a Photos action of “Import files into iPhoto” and define it as follows.
If you would like to keep your sync folder tidy, check the box to “delete original files from source after import”.
4. There is no Step 4. Thats it!
I have tagged this method “beta” as it sometimes duplicates the imported images in iPhoto and am yet to work out the reason for that – if you do please drop us a line.
