S3Drive - Background media backup on iOS

Can’t backup media in background

1

Hi, background sync on iOS is limited to what OS allows. In most cases it runs some time after charged is connected (especially overnight). We don't have much control over this. ...also the execution time is limited, so it's better to do the initial sync not in the background, and then leave background sync to send "diffs".

Quick checkup, how it's going with background sync? Did you manage to run it overnight?

Hi Tom, whats the best way to backup a significant amount of photos from an IOS device? I noticed there is a pay to use option now - just checking this is the best solution

Hi, there isn't much choice on iOS, since we don't have access to local FS comparing to other platforms, so the above media backup is probably your best/only bet. It will upload your selected media one by one to Automatic uploads location (you can change it in the settings). What "pay to use" option you have in mind? Background functions are in fact limited to Ultimate version, however honestly speaking you might not need them anyway if you start app from time to time. I hope this helps, please let me know if you've managed to backup your media succesfully. Thanks.

If you refer to license in-app purchase, yes we do support it: https://s3drive.app/faq?q=website_vs_inapp

nope，I mean direct authorization to log in to my iCloud account for album data migration, for example, some third-party file managers support authorization binding to log in to Google Cloud Drive directly manage the contents of my network drive

Unfortunately, it's not supported at the moment. We only can connect to S3 and Rclone back-ends. In the future we will simplify Rclone configuration, so you shall be able to login to your Google Cloud account using your login/e-mail. As far I am concerned iCloud isn't supported by Rclone just yet.
