After making edits on their Android device, users can upload photos from their phone to their Photoshop.com account to view and retrieve their images at a later time with in the Android app or via an computer on the internet.

Users can automatically upload pictures to Photoshop.com albums in the background, even when the Photshop.com Mobile application is not running.
