Love this app. Does exactly what I want: check the contents of the NEW photos folder on my Android phone at a specific time of day then send them to a backup folder on my NAS. Oh, and notify me on the phone that it did this. Thanks Helmut! Great app.

User Reviews
User reviews consistently praise PhotoSync for NAS/Samba backups and cross-device transfers, with many noting easy Android-to-iPhone/iPad transfers and reliable NAS backups. However, several reports point to stability issues: the app can freeze or crash, and automatic background uploads can misbehave or upload unintended data. UI and feature gaps—such as limited sorting, restricted folder selection, and setup complexity—are common pain points. Overall, it’s valued for NAS backups and transfers, but reliability and UX improvements are needed.
Pros
- Excellent NAS/Samba backup support with reliable local-network transfers to a NAS.
- Easy cross-device transfers between Android and iPhone/iPad.
- Capable of handling large photo libraries and frequent backups (e.g., thousands of photos).
- Long-standing app with many users reporting consistent NAS backup and transfer performance.
Cons
- Crashes and becomes unresponsive in some versions.
- Background auto-upload can be unreliable, with misbehaving uploads or excessive data usage.
- UI/UX limitations and feature gaps: limited sorting (no date-grouping), restricted folder selection, and a learning curve.
