Ratings and reviews

This app is next to useless if you have 2FA enabled on your account. It will constantly deauthorize your login and just never tell you (and the "remember me" option never works). So unless you're regularly opening the app it's likely that your photos haven't been backed up for awhile. And if you're also using another backup service (Like Google Photos) that will auto-delete backed up photos from your device after awhile, then it's quite possible that many items never get backed up.

It does the job for uploading and backing up your photos... Kind of. So sometimes for whatever reason, the app stops automatically backing up photos you've taken. I've had to manually sign in to check and start the uploading process. Sometimes I've had to restart the app to start the backup process. Sometimes I can't sign into the server when away and not on my home wifi. Lots of issues, but does work in backing up your videos and photos.

Looks amazing, but occasionally gets: Unknown error occurred: empty response body, and can't upload anything anymore after that. It seems to happen with screenshots and downloaded images the most. While I'd like this to be fixed on the back end, ideally this would not block uploading every other photo in the meantime. All in all, can't wait for the official release.
