IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) If your camera app saves your photos on an external micro SD card, and your device is running Android version 4.4 (Kitkat) or higher, there is a chance that this app may not be able to access your photos. If this is the case you will need to configure the camera app on your phone to save its files to internal storage instead. Sorry about that
- it's due to an Android restriction on access to external SD cards which was introduced with version 4.4. If your device is rooted you are less likely to be affected by this problem.(2) If you have recently upgraded your device to Android 6.0 Marshmallow you will need to un-install and re-install the app to regain access to any folders stored on an external SD card. This is due to a change in the way Android 6.0 handles permissions.

Tooooo hard for use.
Well i really did not need this until my free Dropbox allocations I received with my Samsung phone and dell laptop expired... now i'm stuck without much Dropbox or other full-rez free online storage. so, i really appreciate the automatic upload of my photos from my phone to my NAS. I created a folder called "phone photos" and now I don't even have to think about it. Relatively easy setup and nothing to do after that. cool.
Hi Ian, I'm on Galaxy S7 and your app won't upload until I either select 'Upload new' in the app or disconnect and reconnect my Wifi. Also, the upload is very slow (2 min for a 1 mb file) . I normally use an Eye-fi app which does it merely a few seconds but it can't handle png files. Tried restarting the phone and disabled the Eye-fi app, made no difference. Uploading to a Synology DS 210j.

Easy setup. Automatically backs up any photo's taken just by walking back into the house. Will never lose a photo again.
Wanted to use this, but I use YYYY/MM/DD folder structure which this app doesn't have. Using Sweet Home now which hasn't been updated in long time. If I'm on my home Wi-Fi neither app uploads until you cycle/reconnect to the access point. Didn't have to do that until Android 6.
I can't even figure out how to use it and I'm a programmer .nothing actually works .I give it a zero in fact i will write my own .
