Summary
Both applications are designed to simplify photo sharing experience and save users from spending time in downloading and uploading photos. Users can form groups (Circles in Memeoshare and Tonido group in Tonido Photos) to share their photos. Group members need not upload or download photos, they automatically receive the photos.
For the first 10 minutes learning about these applications, they appear as if they are doing exact same functions. However, you will soon notice that there is a fundamental difference between these two applications. Tonido creates a private P2P network to transfer files among group. Tonido doesn’t use a third party server to store or channel user photos. In case of Memeoshare, it loads user photos into a central server and sends the photos from the server to other in the user group. Since Tonido doesn’t use a central server, it promises complete privacy — user communications or photo sharing is neither monitored nor stored in any server. This is a big advantage that Tondio Photos offers that no other photo sharing service offers.
