Great App. You guys have done an excellent job with this. I am having two issues though. The auto upload doesn't work properly. When enabling auto upload on a folder that has existing files in it, it wont upload them, it only uploads new files added after enabling the auto upload. Second issue is that the files that do upload, won't delete from device when configured to be deleted. App has storage permission enabled.

Great app and awesome server back end. I love the ui and the setup is easy. The app though has serious battery drain and is always at the top of my list. Will update to 5 stars if this can be fixed.

Be warned, while this app has an automatic upload feature (eg. for photos and videos), it doesn't respect the "wifi only" setting. This means it can easily blow your data limit, so be careful if you're charged for excess. It's mitigated by the fact that it fails most of the time anyway.

Integrating a simple Spreed Video Chat client would be brilliant!! Not to mention streaming video playback like on the web version so the file won't need to be downloaded first. Keep up the great work!!

A big salute to all the legends behind Nextcloud. It's been a great pleasure using your top quality server and client apps. I beleive you guys will only bring more success as long as Nextcloud stays open-source. We are here to support your amazing work.

Love nextcloud, but this app is extremely buggy - frequently freezes and crashes. This seems related to the auto-upload feature, which appears to be duplicating many times the same uploads and hogging the phone CPU/battery. Hopefully this is fixed in the next update.

It only should upload new files, and ignore the existing ones. The other issue is indeed an issue and will be (should be) resolved in 1.5.

I'm still amazed that such a professional caliber app and server back end is available for free. Just wish it had more granular features for syncing and managing local storage... In time I expect that to evolve.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Thanks for the nice words! :)

Gregoire NION June 19, 2017

Great & working app. There have been a lot's of improvements and stabilisation. Though, the main feature I use is the (camera) auto upload and there are still holes in the raquette. Indeed sometimes it misses pics. It results in part of the pics only being uploaded. I don't see them in the errors and no way to trigger again the autoupload. An rsync like feature would be handy in such case to be fail safe.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

This will be fixed in 1.5 - sorry for the trouble! :)

Calgary Installer July 20, 2017

Worked fine until the update a while ago. Now does not u0load most photos. I am going back to the 9ld owncloud app as it is at least still rel8aboe enough for business use.

Lars Kolmetz June 25, 2017

Good app. Unfortunately the auto-upload functionality of photos keeps uploading every single picture repeatedly after restarting my phone. Would be great if that would be solved.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

This will be solved in 1.5 - thanks for the patience! :)

Interstellar Biogenesis June 10, 2017

Way better in all aspects compared to the official OwnCloud Android application. Same goes for the server fork.

Nextcloud June 9, 2017

Thank you! Well, if you like the client app you might also like to check out the corresponding Nextcloud server solution.

Esteban Marine May 29, 2017

Working better than ever, much more stable.

Chris Nabinger June 9, 2017

Auto upload is broken.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Will be fixed in 1.5 - sorry for the trouble!

Auto upload not working.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Will be fixed in 1.5 - sorry for the trouble!

Chris Lim July 23, 2017

It is nicely built. Will there be an auto upload via WiFi option in v1.5?

Sourav Ghosh June 4, 2017

Drains battery with instant upload enabled.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Will be fixed in 1.5 - sorry for the trouble!

Luc Welter June 27, 2017

Auto sync, upload waiting indefinitely, though device charging and wifi connected.

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

This is partly a platform issue, however, we do have a workaround ready for 1.5, and we believe you'll be happy! :)

June 12, 2017

It just works. Thank you

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Glad to hear that you're happy! :)

JP Adkins July 3, 2017

I have a private backup server and this helps

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Super happy that it's all working for you! :)

Keeps getting better

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Thanks for the nice words!

Great job

Nextcloud July 7, 2017

Thanks, you're awesome! :)

Glen Satchwell March 18, 2017

Love the new auto upload update! Was just the feature I was waiting for and will fit perfectly with my setup. However it's still not working with my phone, I am running the latest Nextcloud on a OnePlus Two. Be great to see this feature working soon. Many thanks! This is now working fine. I noticed that it only uploads images after enabling this feature. Images that were in the folders before enabling don't get picked up and upload so i had to do those manually so it's working all fine now. Is this a feature you will be adding in the future maybe? Or is this supposed to work already? Many thanks

Nextcloud March 18, 2017

Hi Glen the feature of uploading already taken pictures when activating auto upload is a feature not yet implemented but is part of our roadmap.

Wonder Weirdo April 13, 2017

This app helps me get laid, and it scares away all of the government agents who want to steal my shorts. But it needs to be updated to work with the 2 factor authentication.

Nextcloud April 13, 2017

If you generate an app password via Web interface, you can use that to login! Thanks for using the app!

Phil Fernandez April 24, 2017

Update 4/24/2016- I'm changing my review from 5 stars to two, because the instant upload feature just stopped working. I took four pictures today while out and about and none of them will upload even now that I'm back at home on wifi. I didn't change anything but it just stopped working. I also took a pic before leaving the house while still on wifi, and that one never uploaded either. Hopefully they'll fix this soon. I will adjust my review if they do. Otherwise I'll be uninstalling. Works with OwnCloud! I'm using to sync with my raspi OwnCloud server and it's working great. I love that this app allows me to set it up so that photos taken on my phone go straight to my server, and sync with my computer's. No more uploading photos to Googles servers!

Sorin Sandu March 14, 2017

I've installed the nexcloud linux server, done the setup,tinkering and installed ssl let's encrypt, installed on my phone, and boom. All works like a charm. Great solution for your inhouse cloud. I can host for others too.

Nextcloud March 14, 2017

Glad to hear all is working well - thanks for using the app!

Jeremy Cotton March 15, 2017

Good app overall but auto upload still doesn't work. Sony Xperia Z5 on Android 7. Even with auto upload turned on, settings and folders selected, nothing happens when I take a photo. Keep trying :-)

Nextcloud March 16, 2017

Hi Jeremy, we are sorry to hear that. Let's further look into this matter on the forum https://help.nextcloud.com/ or even better our Github tracker https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues since other Sony Xperia Z5 on Android 7users reported to us it is working :(

Lazar Romeo March 14, 2017

I hate this update! One of the things I loved was different folder for photos and videos when auto uploaded. Now they all are in the same place. As all other apps.

Nextcloud March 14, 2017

Hi Lazar, we are sorry to hear you strongly dislike the new Auto Upload feature. A "video only" might come back in a future release via a size/type distinction per folder that support the use case you are referring to.

Enzo van de Wetering March 28, 2017

Currently testing nextcloud behind a reverse proxy with client side certificates authentication which adds an extra layer of security on top of nextcloud. When I connect using a browser like Google Chrome on my phone it works great because the app prompts me to select a (client) certificate from the certificate store of my phone however with this app it does not and this makes it impossible for me to connect to my nextcloud server. I would love to deploy this to multiple users but I can't yet using this version of the app. Please feel free to contact me for additional information if needed, I love nextcloud :)

Nextcloud April 3, 2017

There is already a feature request for client side certifications (https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/603), but due to little men power, it is not developed yet.

jeremy swift May 10, 2017

It used to work for me but isn't any longer. I picked up a Galaxy S8+ on launch day and since the new phone, no go. I don't think it's a Android 7.0 deal as my Note 5 had 7.0 before the GS8+ I only get "unknown error occurred!" When trying to connect to my server...

Dave A April 4, 2017

it looks good, but right away as i installed wanted to move all my pics into cloud (from gallery) but somehow im not able to select whole folder or all pics in it, just 1 by 1. can u fix it? please 😊

Nextcloud April 4, 2017

Hi Dave, if you've chosen manual upload and navigated to your camera folder you can choose 'select all' from the menu (top right)

Atakan Meray March 17, 2017

Everything works well except that it doesn't update photos onto my nextcloud server. Photos keep waiting in Uploads window for hours not updating. I really hope that will be fixed..

Nextcloud March 17, 2017

Hi Kan, can you open an issue on Github for this matter? https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues - And since you got the timeouts after the password changes, did you check/purge the bruteforce table on the server, since you might be blocked?

April 12, 2017

This is really good thanks! Is it possible to only view a photo that's on my server rather than downloading it? It downloads the photo every time I want to look at one. Thanks for the hard work!

April 3, 2017

No native calendar and contact sync (saying someone would need a 3rd party app for that is like saying you need to install Internet Explorer for HTTPS support in Google Chrome...) Yubikey U2F doesn't seem to be working with this app, but it does in my Chrome browser (No U2F support #796).

Nextcloud April 3, 2017

Calendar and Contact Sync can be done with CalDav, which can be prefilled from our app. Regarding U2F please open up an issue on https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/new

Jaroslav Hranička April 2, 2017

Auto Upload is broken. It uploads on mobile Internet even when "only on wifi" is set. And it uploads same files again and again (with suffixes).

Nextcloud April 3, 2017

Re-uploading files is known on a little specific devices, but can you open up an issue on https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/new regarding the first one?

Jim Coates March 14, 2017

Auto upload has been fixed on Android 7 and I am happy. Out of all the solutions I have tried for a self hosted cloud solution, this one has proved to be the best. Great work!

Nextcloud March 14, 2017

Hi Jim, we just released 1.4.2 which should address all known issues regarding the auto upload.

April 21, 2017

Instant upload only works some of the time on android 7. Also needs ability to upload pics and vids to different folders during instant upload.

Arjun Tyagi May 12, 2017

Working perfectly fine on local system...but when i try to connect using mobile it show...SSL failed to initialize or server taking too long to response.... please help me

Tyson Taylor March 19, 2017

I like the idea of the instant upload features but it doesn't work yet.

Nextcloud March 19, 2017

Can you please mail me at mario@nextcloud.com to let me know what doesn't work exactly? Thanks! :)

zingmars April 23, 2017

Seems to bit buggy - it doesn't seem to load directory sizes properly (shows 0b when a folder has files in it), and doesn't load the contents of a few folders (says they're empty even though they sync just fine on desktop).
