it works great apart from the abysmal "Preparing" hanging on videos especially larger ones. It is unacceptable to not be able to consistently back up your photos and videos to your NAS because they are stuck. I have to restart the app many times until it finally passes. and large files are worst because it can decide to hang at any point. please drop this Preparing phase and just upload the files...

It could be great. The backup function works well. But when away from home and not on the WiFi, all you get is black thumbnails. It doesn't matter if you're on 5G, 4G, 3G, they just don't load. As such, it's only good for backing up your device. Not for looking at your images when out and about like you can with Google Photos. The app needs a lot of bugs fixed before I can up my score. These updates don't seem forthcoming.

Great App works well enough Wish I could select what folders show on default each device, though, but still allow access to other files in separate areas. Eg My wife doesn't want to see all my photos from my phone on her phone and Ipad....and vis-versa....but she can still get to my photos in a separate area. 3 stars until this gets resolved.
