User Reviews

Users broadly find Photos Backup for QNAP useful for backing up iPhone photos/videos to a NAS and appreciate its iOS/macOS compatibility and local storage privacy. However, recurring complaints focus on paid upgrade nags, occasional backup failures or incomplete transfers, privacy/metadata handling concerns, and login/2FA issues with the paid version. These reliability and monetization problems temper positive reviews.

Pros

Reliable backup/sync from iPhone to a QNAP NAS.
Fast/efficient backups when the app is running.
Good cross‑device support (works well on iPhone and iPad).
Keeps data on local NAS, offering privacy/security advantages over cloud storage.

Cons

Paywall and nag prompts to upgrade to Pro / pay for features.
Reliability issues with backups (some data missing or backups failing).
Data handling concerns (location metadata stripped, HEIC conversions to JPG/DNG; unclear how data is used during transfer).
Login/authentication problems, especially with the paid version and 2‑step verification unsupported.

Works exactly how you might want it to. I use it to sync pictures from my iphone to my qnap. I have it set to backup photos from an album to a specific directory that I use for a home made digital picture frame.

What a shame you want users to pay again to backup photos and videos. This is the reason we bought this NAS so we can save money on a longer run. Now you are trying to get more money to backup our phones come on. Looks like i have wasted my money I should have go For other products. Extremely disappointed with qnap NAS.
