PlayMemories Online vs. Personal Space

PlayMemories Online supports movies, uploading and downloading images/movies with a web browser and BRAVIA TVs that were not supported by Personal Space.

Can I view the images uploaded to Personal Space after it becomes PlayMemories Online?

Device Compatibility

Is there any difference in the functions of PlayMemories Online when used from the dedicated application and web browser on a device such as a Tablet?

Basic functions, such as Library, Albums, Friends and Postcards, are common to all PlayMemories Online interfaces. However, using the dedicated PlayMemories Online application for each device or operating system (i.e. Android, iOS, etc.) will provide a user experience optimized for each device.

Is there any difference in functions and operations of PlayMemories Online when used with Sony Tablet S-series and P-series?

The functions and operations are the same. However, because the P-series has two screens, the display format has the following differences:

• When viewing in full screen, the images are always displayed in landscape mode in the upper screen.
• When viewing in portrait mode, the lists of sharing groups and libraries are displayed on the left screen and the content list in displayed on the right screen.

Uploading and Downloading

Can I download images from PlayMemories Online?

Yes, you can. If the image is shared in the original size, you can select the size option (Small, Medium or Original) when downloading.

Sharing

If I share images with my friends, do they need to have a PlayStation Network (SEN) account?

Images will be shared as an Album or Postcard, and those images can be viewed by recipients even if they don't have a PlayStation Network (SEN) account. However, if they want to use the PlayMemories Online application (i.e. Android, iOS, etc.) to view the images, they need to have a PlayStation Network (SEN) account. Applications can be used free of charge.

If I share images with my friends, can they download the images, in addition to viewing them?

Yes, they can download the images using a web browser if they have a PlayStation Network (SEN) account.

Troubleshooting

When I deleted the Postcard after sending it to my friend, my friend cannot view the Postcard any longer.

The Postcard function only shares the online image with the recipients. It does not actually send the image. Therefore, if you delete the image online, it will not be accessible to the recipients. If you want to keep the images accessible for the recipients, do not delete the online image.
