For what it is, it's quite useful! I personally would really love if this app supported automatic photo/video uploading by itself, since the official Nextcloud app is really inconsistent and bad at it. As it currently stands, I need to use two gallery apps - this one for synced photos, and my phone's native one for photos that have not yet uploaded. I'd absolutely love it if this one app could act as both, which Google Photos did for me before I switched to Nextcloud.

This app is amazing! I love it, essentially Google photos for NextCloud. I've just had two little gripes: 1. Photo based albums only let me select a couple of folders at the top level of my next cloud. Anything with nested folders or folders that are deep nested I can navigate to but not select. I was able to manually mod the json to get the target folder I want working, so I'm assuming it's a gui glitch. 2. I would love different sort options in photos view. Group by folder, group by date

I really like this app. I'm slowly transitioning years of my Google photos/videos to Nextcloud and will eventually purchase the paid version. Just one thing I wished it had. It would be ealeir to at least see an image or possibly clips in a loop of your videos while you scroll. Similar to the other photo app. Right now you just see a blank box and not know what video I'm opening up.

Hi, the app uses previews generated by your server, and by default Nextcloud does not generate previews for video files. Please check the guide at https://gitlab.com/nkming2/nc-photos/-/wikis/help/video-previews to learn more on how to enable it.
