User Reviews for Photo Backup for Synology

Bug in iOS13, otherwise worked well

Since upgrading to iOS13, when turning “HEIF photo to JPG” Off all Live Photos get exported as just a .mov (no corresponding image file). Before, they were exported as the .mov and the .heic files.Besides this bug, the product worked very well and I would otherwise give 5 stars.

No Auto Backup

Gave this app a try. The paid version has some nice features, but it’s a manual backup tool. You have to open the app and perform the backups yourself, and leave the app open while this happens.This makes the app less than useful for me, and I will use my NAS’s native app, which offers similar features at no cost.

Very easy to use

I have a nas and this does a great job of backing up photos without a lot of fuss. Very logical and reliable.

Excellent - but need help troubleshooting!

I bought three copies of this - for mine, my wife’s and my daughters phones. We take most of our pictures now with our phones. The initial backup worked perfect with my phone and my wife’s - and my daughter got about 1/3 way through - and it gives an error that says invalid path. How do I troubleshoot this?! Hoping the developer sees this - the blogspot website has no “contact me” button.

Why strip the metadata?

UPDATE: So I got a notice from the developer saying that the metadata are now preserved during the transfer of photos from the phone to the NAS. Yay!, I thought. Unfortunately, after a few tests, I see that some metadata are preserved, but not all. Most notably, the location data is NOT preserved. PLEASE DEVELOPER, can you preserve ALL metadata? Also, I also noticed that the wireless transfer of files resulted in smaller file sizes using this app compared to the same photos that I uploaded to the NAS via lighting cable. Is the app maintaining the full resolution of the photos as it claims? I don’t know. =====================Previous review:I’ve done my array of tests and this is a great app, BUT IT LACKS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE. The app appears to indeed transfer full resolution of pictures and videos BUT IT DOES NOT TRANSFER THE METADATA. This makes the app unusable to me. So please, include the ability to transfer ALL metadata with the full resolution pictures and videos! Thank you in advance.

Disappointed

We used the free version for awhile. I decided to buy the full version thinking my husband and I could both use it. It will not allow him to use the full version too.

Works great

Initially I had some issues getting this connected to my symbology, but once I got it it worked perfectly. I have reached out to the developer once with connection issues and once with a suggestion and they were very responsive. In fact, they took my suggestion and implemented it.

It works but lacks features

I’ve been looking for a solution to sync my photos from my iPhone to my NAS. Connecting to my NAS was confusing and lacked support. I kept receiving an error but there wasn’t any help in the app to resolve the connection issue. There was no option to search for my NAS. The options for the backup offer lots of options and good descriptions. The reason for three starts is the inability to operate in the background even for a very short period while I switch screens, sometimes I would come back and have to start the backup again from where it left off. You have to leave the program on your screen running. I have 24k photos to backup. It has taken three days and I still have 6k photos left. I’ve tried to backup overnight but it seems to stop at some point. I run it every chance I get. Also, what happens when I have new photos or photos move around? From what I understand, I will have to backup again if I want to keep everything in the right folders, if anything has moved. There is no sync option. I feel the app could be great but currently is just ok. It needs further development and features. It does what it says but it’s a lot of work and you will have to continue to manually manage it since it does not seem to backup on its own.

So far so good!

So far so good with this one, Im loving the ability to exclude certain albums from backup. This is great when I need to re-download an image from my NAS but don't want it backed up twice. I would love to see the option to automatically delete photos after sync though.

Effortless and Effiecent

What a great way to not lose precious memories. And without worry. Even if behind set it and leave phone chargjng. On return - all caught up with permanent capture.
