Hello, you should make a thread at #support regarding this problem. (edited)

In principle it should work, bear in mind the "worker" runs once every quarter or so, so background work won't be executed exactly to the minute, but once you wait at least 15 minutes it should work. This assumes you have battery optimization disabled and background sync enabled (see the navbar on the sync screen). On some vendors background sync is less reliably. Ideally please create a support ticket, please specify your Android version, device model. Did it work fine in any previous S3Drive versions? Did you try reenabling background sync? Thanks! (edited)

Can I sync or automatically upload photos and videos and let them be put in subfolders of year/month/**** based on the time the photo or video was taken?

I don't think S3Drive has that feature, you should make a feature-request thread about it at #support

Hiya, im a bit stuck in setting op S3Drive on linux fedora. I downloaded the flatpak and upgraded to the lifetime ultimate plan. I added google drive, dropbox and proton drive. I set the app to start on startup, and set each drive to mount on startup. When i reboot the system only one drive seems to mount, all the others have to be mounted manually. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi! Please make a thread about the problem on #support

Is there any price comparison of all the storage providers that are compatible with S3Drive? and is there any reasons not to go for the cheapest? (sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm new to this! Just want to move away from Google Drive to some E2EE option)

Hi! There isn't any services price comparison directly from S3Drive, but here. Used lowest pricing for each services and by monthly. Sorted from lowest to high. 1. S3Drive | €1.49/monthly-120GB, €7.99/monthly-1.2TB 2. Filen €1.99/monthly-200GB 3. Koofr €2/monthly-100GB 4. pCloud $4.99/monthly-500GB 5. Proton Drive $4.99/monthly-200GB 6. Mega.nz $5.75/monthly-750GB 7. iDrive E2 $6/monthly-1TB 8. BackBlaze $6.95/monthly-1TB 9. Dropbox $11.99/monthly-2TB

is there any reasons not to go for the cheapest? (sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm new to this!

No worries! If a service is well-established, transparent, and reputable, choosing the cheapest option can be perfectly reasonable. However, whether you should go with the lowest price depends on the specific provider: reputation, level of transparency, customer reviews, and how long the company has been operating. If those factors are strong, there is no reason to avoid the cheapest option. Oh yeah don't forget the cons of each services and their pricing. Take for example Mega.nz it has limits of 1TB transfer and etc. (edited)
