Hi,

I noticed that with the mobile client, when automatic upload is enabled and I take a photo for example, I have to open the app for the upload to start.

So the upload does not start automatically in the background right after taking the photo.

Is there a way to make files upload automatically without having to open the app ?

Mobile client version: 34.0.1
Nextcloud server version: 33.0.6
Phone brand: Xiaomi
Date: 01/07/2026

Thanks !

Yes, it’s the same on iOS, has been like this for over a year: you need to keep the app opened and active to upload new photos, even though Background App Refresh is enabled. It used to work and broke some time early last year, I think. There was a period in 2025 that the iOS client was nearly constantly broken in various ways so I’m glad it even works this much now.

I think that’s too bad :cry: I hope the problem gets fixed
