Community / support / PhotoSync for S3 not syncing
Avatar
I have selected a bunch of folders for auto-upload. But nothing seems to happen. Are they not supposed to upload the contents of the folder? Or do I need to select every file to sync?

Hi @Pjort, just to make sure that we're on the same page. Are we talking about PhotoSync Android app, S3Drive syncing on desktop or S3Drive media backup on mobile? (edited)

It is two different problems, this I am describing here is the PhotoSync ANdroid app

Existing files needs to be synced manually, there is a range select to help you with that however if folder is marked for auto-upload and upload constraints are met (only wifi, low battery, charger connected etc.) then any new photo you take shall be synced automatically. There is also a feature which would help you to manage upload status if you switch to a new phone and connect to bucket previously used with PhotoSync (it would recognize file names and mark as uploaded accordingly).

In S3Drive you can backup existing photos when selecting a folder (prompt asks whether to upload existing or only new), however we don't yet support background upload (something that PhotoSync does): https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/background-media-backup
