How long does uploading take?
The speed of your upload depends on the speed of your Internet connection. If you have a 56k modem, it will take approximately 2 minutes to upload a 500k digital photo file. The faster your Internet connection, the less time it will take to upload your photos. When you use QuickUpload, we'll indicate how long the upload will take for both a 56k modem and a DSL/Cable modem connection.

Is there any charge for uploading?
No. Uploading and sharing your digital photos is completely free!

What type of photo file can I upload to my Walgreens Photo Center account?
When you use our QuickUpload tool on a PC, you can copy the following types of digital photos from your computer to your online Walgreens Photo Center account:

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe)
• Zip file (containing JPEGS only)

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe)

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe)
• Zip file (containing JPEGS only)

NOTE: Whenever you upload a digital photo to your online account, only a copy of it is placed in your account. The original digital photo file remains unchanged on your computer.

Why can't I see the file extensions on my photo files?
Your PC may be set to hide file extension at the end of file names. If the names of your files don't end with a dot and a three- or four-letter extension (.jpg, .zip, etc.) this setting is easy to change:

1. Return to your computer's desktop and double select the My Computer icon.
2. When the window is open, select the View menu and choose Folder Options.
3. Click on the View tab at the top of the window.
4. Uncheck the box labeled Hide file extensions for known file types and select the OK button to confirm your change.
5. You should now see the file extensions at the end of all file names.

For how long are my photos stored on Walgreens Photo Center?
The Walgreens Photo Center offers free, unlimited storage of your online photos. There is no limit to the number of digital photos you can upload. You can have an unlimited number of albums and photos in your account.

We store the hi-res versions of your photos in your account for 3 months (90 days) after the day you upload them to your account. This means that you can order prints, enlargements, greeting cards and other personalized photo products within the first 90 days.

After that, only the low-res photos, suitable for viewing and sharing with friends, as well as for purchasing selected print sizes (4x6", 5x7", wallets) will remain in your online account. More about our storage policy
