Ratings and reviews

The app actually works decently but it seems to be deleting things that didnt get uploaded because the file format is not recognized. Honestly it should just back up everything in a Folder. That what it means to call it backup. Lastly there have to to be an option to pause backing up like PAUSE. I was on a slow wifi and i could not pause it so i stopped it. This caused a huge mess and duplicates so now I need to short it out.

I do want to mention that my experience with this app is about 20 minutes but I am already blown away how dang good it is. I could not imagine an app to be similar or possibly even better than the Google photos app. I've had Google photos for about 6 years and I have loved it except for the new cost. I take a lot of photos. What I've been doing is manually backing up my photos to Synology for about a decade now. I've used Google photos to look at my photos. It seems like this app does everything

IDK what people complain about. Extended family of 6 using one server no probs. Update: upgraded to 5* form 3* as I am starting to appreciate the more nuanced and intricate sharing abilities. The app made huge progress with default folders and back up cue monitoring. Works like a charm. Get more RAM btw! Earlier review: Huge step back from DS Photos in many ways (back up management, cue, monitoring; default sorting; etc) Where is the basic feature of DS Photos showing recently uploaded photos!?
