What users are saying

1. I understand that open source software has it's quirks, but come on.Very glitchy, been using for a year now, not dependable Sharing files to nextcloud to upload never works.

2. It does have nice features like auto sync with Android pictures, but it's just too buggy to use all the time and I end up using 3rd party apps or even just the web interface.Good beginning attempt, but still a long way to go.

3. The auto update feature only works if you are using less than a thousand small files, then it gets really buggy.

4. The auto upload features need fixed.I told nextcloud to keep a copy of my photos on their original folder.

5. Also, the upload functionality needs to pay extra attention to -- there's no progress indicator in the Uploads menu, cannot cancel ongoing uploads and uploading doesn't happen in the background.Very slow and buggy.

6. Uploading files directly through file selection usually works but you have to verify the file uploaded, the app will often silently not upload the file and I'd you look for it on the server later it will not be there.

7. I also wanted to be informed of any sync conflicts but for some reason instead of being smart enough to realize that if there is a sync conflict and I opt to keep the server version, instead of skipping that item like it should it proceeds to redownload the photo to my phone which I never asked for.

8. I actually have no issues with auto upload, but sync leaves a bit to be desired; you can't configure the location of syncs.

9. When I open the app, the failed ones will automatically upload again but it can take hours to go through the sync conflict ones.

10. I am sure there are people trying to fix it but it's not stable for auto update or moving many small image files.

11. I've had to disable the 'Auto Upload' feature because it does not work consistently.

I created a NextCloud cloud, but I can't connect via my phone or other device. Help me set up the cloud so that I can connect to it via a third-party device
