Today I took some photos while out and about. I have āinstant picture uploadsā switched on with āUpload pictures via wifi onlyā. So I expected them not to upload until I got home and re-connected to my wifi. However that hasnāt happened.
Is there a way to get the Android app (1.2.0) to recognise there are outstanding photos to upload?
I know itās possibly to upload them manually but that kind of defeats the object of the āinstant uploadā setting.
changing the settings to disable instant uploads then re-enable it
remove the account and re-add it
remove the app and re-add it
Actually having done the last of these I can see, by tailing the log on my server, that itās scanning all the files available. This will take a while so maybe itāll do something after that. Iāll wait and see.
EDIT: I was mistaken itās looking for all my directories not files. Still thatās quite a few. Iāll wait til its done.
What mobile device (brand, model, android version) do you use?
The instant upload feature relies on a notification sent by android that a new picture was taken.
Some brands have custom modifications that prevent working this.
Itās a Nexus 6P so itās running stock Android. Itās currently running Android 7.0 (Nougat). Actually it looks like Nextcloud hasnāt auto-uploaded any photos since the upgrade but that could be a coincidence.
@latepaul than we have (unfortunately) found the issue. Thanks to Google (they have completely changed the way background services have to be implemented) at this very moment instant uploads for photos and videos are actually broken on Android N
