Review summary

PhotoSync Bundle Add-On is highly praised for its reliability, broad protocol support, and excellent developer support helping users with setup and issues. It's easy to use and effective for automating photo backups across many devices and services. However, some users report transfer hangs or failures, especially with cloud destinations like Google Photos, and desire improved error handling and app interface refinements. Overall, it remains a strong tool for self-hosted and cloud photo syncing with room for enhancements in user experience and background transfer robustness.

Pros

Highly reliable and works exactly as advertised, providing seamless photo and video transfers across multiple devices and platforms.
Excellent developer support with quick and helpful responses to user issues.
Supports various protocols and storage options including NAS (SMB), FTP, WebDAV, cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox), making it very flexible for different backup setups.
Automatic backup and syncing features that work well, even caching uploads when offline to sync later.
Intuitive and easy to set up with customizable options for transferring and renaming files.

Cons

Some users experience app hanging or transfer failures when syncing to cloud services like Google Photos, with transfers stopping or not progressing.
Occasional unexplained errors during large batch transfers (e.g., FTP sync), lacking detailed error reporting or ability to skip problematic files automatically.
Settings and interface could be improved with better organization, multiple triggers for auto-sync, and more modern material design.
Background transfers can fail if the app is forced out of memory or closed, affecting reliability of long syncs.
Limited server browsing or preview capabilities within the app, such as thumbnails for remote folders, which users would like added.

2024-12-05	Na*****	Latest version 4.1.4 on Pixel 7a / Pixel 5 has stopped transferring photos (from Pixel 7a to Pixel 5) - please fix Edit: Just needed write permissions. Very responsive developer - 5 STAR

2024-08-05	Ma*****	If you're thinking about one of these, just get the bundle. New features keep getting added and the app was everything I needed years ago. The time spent thinking about it will easily be paid back over the years of value received (IMHO).

2024-04-06	La*****	This app works exactly as advertised. This is a refreshing change from most of the other apps. But not only does it work, it works very well indeed. I have been using it for a bit and it does it's work in the background quietly and quickly. And if that's not enough, I had a minor issue when initially using this app. I emailed support and within minutes, I had an answer that fixed my issue. Just FYI: the issue was with a phone setting and not with the app. I highly recommend this app.

2023-09-21	Be*****	It just works! Tons of features to tinker with, but it just works. Had one small problem at some point that left me unable to sync - developer responded to my request immediately, and together we got it to work within no time. My go-to app for PhotoPrism sync. Can recommend.

2022-04-04	J *****	I cant understand the low ratings. I've used this app for years and it has worked perfectly-Iphone to MacBook and Android to M1 MacBook. I like that I can set it to rename the pictures to a custom format as it transfers and now I can even set it to auto transfer them! Add in a wonderfully responsive developer and for me there's nothing more I can ask.

2022-03-01	Ar*****	Great app! I keep my photos on a home server SMB share and PhotoSync works perfectly with the setup. You need to pay 1.99 for the "NAS" add-on (after a free 7 day trial) but it's well worth the tiny price. I went ahead and paid 3.99 for all the add-ons to support the developer. Keep up the awesome work!!

2022-02-13	Li*****	So helpful for backing up pix and videos between phone ipad and pc . I wouldn't be without it . Highly recommended , quick , and easy to use ( also backs up to/ from dropbox and Google drive ). Many thanks to the app developer for making this available on so many platforms. The Only annoyance and it isn't the developers fault , is that I can't back up to / from Amazon drive directly. It's something to do with Amazon privacy I think ?

2022-02-12	Ma*****	Very simple, seamless app for transferring photos from phone to phone to computer to tablet. You have to figure out that both devices must be on the same wifi network and set to send or receive. But once you do, this does the job quicky! Pay the $3.99 for the "pro" app with the add-ons and zero add.

2021-12-06	je*****	PhotoSync has been awesome! I used to manually transfer pictures from my phone to my WD MyCloud via a computer every couple of weeks/months. After testing this app, I decided to purchase. Now I can backup full copies of my pictures and videos with no hassle. It's so easy! I haven't setup automatic backups, but it's simple enough for me to open the app - a few taps later, it's backing up all new pictures and videos to a folder on the MyCloud. So convenient!

2021-11-21	Ro*****	This app has performed well for me so far. I am using it from my mobile communicating with Photoprism loaded on a Raspi 4b/8gb server. It works well over Wireguard from locations away from home. I am testing this combination at the moment as a possible alternative to Google Photos. May have more to add later...
