so, you did see this Auto upload not triggered · Issue #9320 · nextcloud/android · GitHub and this Automatic Upload Issue on Nextcloud Android Client (v3.30.6) - Android permissions lost after update · Issue #14199 · nextcloud/android · GitHub or this Auto-upload fails to upload some pictures when taking multiple pictures at once · Issue #14810 · nextcloud/android · GitHub or are you just assuming that the devs aren’t doing anything to solve this issue?

what are you doing to help solve the issue? try toning down on the hyperboles and assuming best intentions!

oh by the way, welcome to the community :waving_hand:

@MasonProtter, the following solution Android Auto-Upload Stopped Working - #3 by tobika recently appeared… maybe this is what you are looking for?

My Nextcloud app has unfortunately had All File Access the entire time, so this doesn’t help me.

Yes, I have seen these issues, and I’ve subscribed to several of them previously. Frankly, I am a bit disturbed by how low priority these issues at least appear to be, and how little concrete information there is on them.

I think that given that this has been a known series of opaque problems for such a long time, I think the Nextcloud Android app should at the very least give a warning when people set up synchronization that it’s not reliable.

I found an alternative synchronization client and did my best to alert the community to it’s existence in this thread.

I understand how open source works, and i get that there’s no bad intentions here, nor did I say that anyone had bad intentions. All I said was that I dont think this issue is being handled well, and i stand by that statement.

This is just the reality of open source sometimes, but nonetheless, i deeply appreciate the work that’s gone into Nextcloud, and i have great hope that it’ll continue to develop.

Those are reported issues. This does not automatically mean that there is some activity.

And what we are doing is to be the unpaid beta testers for the commercial business model of nextcloud. This is not some hobby open source project.

There is plenty potential of improvement in terms of communication, QA and things like enabling users to easily supply logs.

the project is FOSS - you are welcome to improve.

Is there any way to force Android app to check all photos in a folder again and ignore the ones already there?

Kind of like “Upload existing files” when you first turn it on, but have it ignore files already on the server?

Hi everyone,

Just a curiosity question. Do we happen to have any visibility as to whether this (https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/14810) is likely to hit the Triage process in the near future ?

I did some troubleshooting myself as I thought it might be caused by my temporary state of syncing the camera roll to both OneDrive and NextCloud, but it does (in my case) appear to match the scenario of sometimes skipping photos if they are taken in quick succession.

Thankyou very much.

NextCloud is running unstable.

  • Photos are uploading, but there are regular skips: some photo fails to upload, and there’s practically no chance it will upload later.

  • I have about 5k photos on my phone. NC constantly reports a conflict between the phone and the server. Am I supposed to fix this manually? Several thousand photos that are identical, but NC decided it’s a conflict?

  • Recently, a new bug appeared: users lose access to shared folders that they have permissions for; only their own folders remain. However, if you check the settings of those folders (by logging into the owner’s account) – the folders are shared, and everything looks OK in the properties. It’s fixed by rolling back the database (!!!). I’m running NC on ZFS with auto-snapshots, and if this bug appears – rolling back the entire database a couple of days fixes it, all folders work normally.

I’m tired of all this. I won’t be using NextCloud anymore.
I’ve deleted the apps, and I will migrate the server to something else. I’m currently choosing what to migrate to.
