Adding Account
Adding account in PhotoPrism allows users to connect their cloud storage accounts to PhotoPrism, allowing them to access and organize their photos from different sources in one place. Users can add accounts from popular cloud storage providers like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Amazon S3, as well as from their local storage. Once an account is added, users can view and organize the photos in that account, and they can also sync the photos to their local device for offline access.

Accounts can be added and managed through the PhotoPrism web interface, and they can be used to access and organize photos from different sources.
Indexing Photos
Indexing is the process of scanning and organizing photos in PhotoPrism. When a photo is uploaded to PhotoPrism, the indexing process scans the photo and extracts metadata like date, location, and tags. This metadata is then used to organize and categorize the photo, making it easier to find and view. The indexing process can be configured to run automatically, or it can be triggered manually by the user. Once the indexing process is complete, users can search for and view photos based on their metadata, making it easier to find and view specific photos. The indexing process can be monitored and managed through the PhotoPrism web interface, and it can be used to organize and view photos in different contexts.
Logs

This can include actions like photo uploads, deletions, downloads, and shares, as well as system events like indexing and account connections. The logs allow you to track changes made to your photos, offering a clear overview of what has happened and when. This feature can be particularly useful for collaboration, as it helps keep all users informed about the latest updates and changes. Notifications for these activities can also be configured to be sent via email or within the PhotoPrism interface.
Location

When a photo is uploaded to PhotoPrism, the location feature identifies the location where the photo was taken and groups them together based on their geotags.
