I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I’m a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I’m not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I’m making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I’m not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14
This is a know issue that has a very long issue on github, it started for me when Google changed the rules on full file access. But the latest version of the app has been rock solid.
I ended up downloading all my photos to my laptop and doing a sync from there
What’s the link to the issue? I’d like to follow its progress. Thank you!
your in luck, as I couldnt find the issue when I posted.
But there is an update to this 👉 https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/15822
Thank you! It seems the ongoing 3.35 version is reimplementing the auto-upload logic, so this is promising. It is still in RC stage, but hopefully will be stable soon.
