Ratings and reviews

This is a killer app as an alternative to Google Photos. No more worries that your photos are in Google's hands. Your photos are uncompressed as opposed to GP. Face recognition, location, date. All in your home server. Pictures are automatically uploaded, without fail. Struggling to figure out why some are having trouble with the upload. Photos are uploaded FULL quality without any compromises. PS. If you are relying on Google Phots, Expect to pay for storage by mid 2021. Also, Google will delete your account if it's inactive for a period of time (per their email announcement last week), and whatever content you had will be gone. I have migrated ALL my content to my NAS. As of today 12/7/20, Synology has announced a new and improved Photo management app: Synology Photos (see youtube), that integrates Moments. I was just looking for it, but can't find it yet. However, I'm still ultra impressed with Moments.

This is an incredibly low quality application. Backup functionality is simply broken. It constantly looses connection (connection is fine), thinks it has no internet (it has), thinks it already finished the backup (it didn't), doesn't allow to select arbitrary folders on the device. My DCIM folder is on SD card, but can't be selected (but Downloads on SD card can - why?). It doesn't allow backup to shared library, doesn't allow bulk manual selection. Do you guys ever try to use this yourself?

Does work with "gallery" on Android... So I have to use file system... When I do i hit select files and nothing happens... They need to follow qnapa lead on all their apps... It's too complicated and nothing works... I don't want to have to put things in order for you... You should copy said folder to the same folder on my NAS. no editing folders or moving things around. Keep it simple.
