Ratings and reviews

This app is pretty foolproof and simple to use. That's both a strength but primarily a weakness. Upon discovering photos "backed up" from my phone, I found out the app backs up EVERY photo on your phone not just from your camera. Photos that other people posted in WhatsApp were being backed up for Idrive Photos. I have yet to discover a way to stop this. Also, user is not able to download (to PC) a group of photos like in Google or File Explorer. This is a BIG pain!

Needs some critical features before becoming a game changer 1. Select which folders to automatically back up from. No Whatsapp or messages. 2. Option to clean/remove local photos and videos after successfully backed up. 3. Albums, groups 4. Sort by location, date 5. Ability to rate photos up to 5 star in addition to existing favorite capabilities and apply tags to further sort by. 6. Ability to find matching faces and ai search for content (nice to have but not absolutely necessary).

It does everything I wanted: one click backup of all the media on my phone, web portal, affordable price... but the autobackup stops working after a few hours. Start the app up again and it works for a few more hours. Talked to support and they recommended turning auto off and then on again and a phone restart, but it didn't help. This is on an s21 running Android 11. I'll come back after a few more versions, I guess. I really hope this app works out, because everything else tries way too hard.
