Using PicGo Cloud as a built-in uploader ​

PicGo Cloud is a built-in uploader type in the GUI app. Once logged in, select PicGo Cloud in your uploader settings, then upload via drag-and-drop, screenshots, hotkeys, etc. — just like any other uploader.

Auto-import to Cloud Album ​

Files uploaded through the PicGo Cloud uploader always appear in the cloud album, regardless of whether this toggle is on.

This feature is for upload records from non-PicGo-Cloud uploaders (e.g. GitHub, AWS S3, Aliyun OSS). When enabled (paid plans only), every file you upload through PicGo — no matter which uploader — has its record (URL, filename, and other metadata) synced to PicGo Cloud's album. PicGo Cloud only stores these records, not the actual files from other uploaders.

You can toggle this on the PicGo Cloud page. The first time you turn it on, PicGo asks whether you'd like to do a one-time import of your existing upload history.

Lifecycle banners ​

If your paid subscription expires, the GUI shows a status banner (grace period / frozen). For what each stage means and how it affects your service, see Subscription lifecycle.
