bug

Auto upload not working in iOS app. It seems that the sync / connection has drop…ped and nothing new is sent over to my Nextcloud server from my iOS app. ### How to use GitHub * Please use the 👍 [reaction](https://blog.github.com/2016-03-10-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments/) to show that you are affected by the same issue. * Please don't comment if you have no relevant information to add. It's just extra noise for everyone subscribed to this issue. * Subscribe to receive notifications on status change and new comments. --- ### Steps to reproduce 1. Notice that no photos or videos are being synced to destination Nextcloud 2. Open app and go into the Settings > Auto upload 3. See that all the toggles are turned ON for Auto upload photos, videos and only use wifi connection 4. No matter how longer I wait, on or off wifi, on or off charging, there is no change I try the following: 6. 'I press the 'Turn on auto uploading' button which then asks if you would like to upload all photos (I didn't assume this would start overwriting, but obviously it did start creating new folders and writing new (old already uploaded) images. 7. Guess that somehow the Auto upload state is broken or somehow been turned off so my iOS client has no idea which photos have or havent been uploaded to the Nextcloud destination. ### Expected behaviour I was hoping that my photos and videos would continue uploading, but since the app update as of 5-6 days ago nothing automatically uploads ### Actual behaviour No photos or videos are uploaded ### Logs ``` If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information). ``` ### Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented? ### Environment data **iOS version:** e.g. iOS 17.6.1 iOS 18.4 **Nextcloud iOS app version:** see More > Settings Nextcloud Hydrogen for iOS 6.6.0.4 2025 **Server operating system:** 30.0.8 NC - **Web server:** Apache, nginx **Database:** mysql 8.0.41 **PHP version:** 8.3.19 **Nextcloud version:** see Nextcloud admin page Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.8) Screenshots from app ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/85ff9131-e138-4efe-8261-ae85e903ad50) ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0f4254c5-3171-489d-abfa-02ffcef27249)

Yes, autoupload is broken on iOS. It worked fine only few weeks ago. I took some photos for online auction in March and they uploaded by the time I walked over to my PC.

Today, it has been over 30 minutes since I took some photos, I’m home, on WiFi. My uploads folder says there was activity 5 minutes ago, but no photos are actually uploaded.

Wait, I can’t even upload manually… oh god… I tapped on Transfers and there are thousands of images queued up for upload. What the hell? Looks like the stupid app decided to re-upload my entire roll after the update, for some reason, and it’s stuck. That might explain the unusual battery drain for the last few days.

So I disabled auto upload and it stopped, so I was able to upload photos manually. Then I turned Autoupload back on and it works again.

So it looks like the app, after being updated, tried to redownaload the entire roll and it was stuck, so during this time it was unable to autoupload anything.

I’m getting so tired of issues with Nextcloud… server updates breaking stuff, desktop client updates breaking stuff, now this.

Unfortunately, I have to agree, that’s pretty annoying…

So it managed to re-upload about a year’s worth of images and they were all duplicated, before I stopped it. I had to restore them from backup, they were too many to delete by hand.

It seems it’s not working in Android app either

app version 3.31.1

Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.4)

Quite annoying even in the current version on iOS still does not work.

It is incomprehensible to me how you can no longer have such an essential function…

PS: I was probably a bit too fast just realized that it probably works now, hopefully.

„I can confirm that it still doesn’t work even after three months.

Therefore, no alternative for photos.
