For me it often helps to just start the Nextcloud app (when having a good internet connection), then after a few minutes, it detects file to be uploaded.

I just had to reset everything end of August this year, I don’t know why (before it has been working for 2 years).

For this unfortunetly not fix the missed ones.

Somebody know what happen if I choose again the camera roll full upload? this duplicate the pictures or not?

Someone could help to me? I wanted to my backup completely synchronized.

I had the exact same problem. It happens locally, so having a good internet connection isn’t the issue.

Doing it the clean way, you start a new folder, but then it uploads everything. For an existing folder, someone would need to test or read the code or wait for a developer to answer this.

Regarding the autoupload function, I found two topics on the bug tracker, perhaps you find some information there. Perhaps there is an easy way to identify missing pictures online so it can just upload the missing ones.

### Steps to reproduce 1.Upgrade to the latest iOS version 2. Autouploads s…top working ### Expected behaviour All new photos should auto upload. Also when the app is opened newly taken photos should be listed in the Transfers section ### Actual behaviour Newly taken pictures are not being autouploaded. They are also not showing up in the Transfers (More--> Transfers) section. Manual upload works fine. ### Screenshots If applicable, add a screenshot showing the issue. ### Logs ``` If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information). ``` ### Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented? This was working fine on my phone prior the iOS 16 upgrade. I have removed and reinstalled the app but that has made no difference ### Environment data **iOS version:** iOS 16.1 **Nextcloud iOS app version:** see More > Settings 4.5.3.0 **Server operating system:** debian **Web server:** nginx **Database:** Ver 10.5.15-MariaDB **PHP version:** 8.0 **Nextcloud version:** see Nextcloud admin page 24.0.6

Transfers are not retried when they fail

In an area where changing between networks happens often (LTE / Pocket Wi-Fi / o…ther public Wi-Fi, possibly with **walled garden** login), Nextcloud transfers are unreliable. I have a bunch of transfers that are stuck (forever?) with 2 different kinds of error: - The certificate for this server is invalid - Error code 100 ### Expected behaviour Failed transfers are retried again later. If not automatically, then at least manually (by tapping on the transfer). ### Actual behaviour When a transfer fails, it's not retried at all and remains in an error state forever. ### Steps to reproduce Unknown. ### iOS version iOS 12.1 ### App version Nextcloud for iOS 2.22.7.4 ### Server configuration Operating system: CentOS 7.5 Database: PostgreSQL 11.1 Nextcloud version: 15.0.0 running within the official Nextcloud Apache image.

HI @Isti6 - did you work out what happens?

I am in the same situation - missed photos. They are scattered all over - a couple every now and again, so it is hard to manually upload them. About a few hundred missed out of 6,000 photos/videos in the past 6 months that I have checked.

I too would like to know what happens if I stop the Photo Auto Upload, then start it again - using the same Nextcloud user/account.

Options is might do are:

Upload everything again, and overwrite the existing assets. Other than taking a long time for network transfer, this might be OK. Although with that many uploads, I would worry it may fail and miss some again anyway!
There MIGHT be a popup dialogue that says “conflict detected”, and lists all the files that are already uploaded, and prompts what to do. This is what happens if you manually try and re-upload a bunch of photos - if they already exist, it asks if you want to overwrite (keep new), only upload the new ones (keep existing), or cancel the upload. This would be ideal - I would then choose to “keep existing” which would be much less network time to only upload the missing ones.
Upload and store duplicate assets. This would be terrible! I don’t know how or why it would do this, but the impact of it happening makes me very worried about trying it just in case…

Has anyone tried this? Any developers can confirm what will happen?

If only there was an easier way to select to upload photos/videos in the iOS app- like “select all date X” or “select all month X” - that way I can methodically work my way through a re-upload, knowing that I get the Conflict Detected prompt which handles things nicely!
