This seems to have serious problems. I mainly want to use it to back up photos in the background. This actually never happens because there are always errors. Opening the app always at first gives connection errors with incorrect credentials. I just keep trying and it eventually does connect (I don't change the credentials). The app seems so clunky.

I've been having problems with uploading a video to the app especially if it's a batch of videos. It keeps saying "# tasks failed" and none were uploaded. Sometimes it works where it appears to upload one video at a time, but then it failed. I see that it's trying to upload multiple videos or some are in queue to upload, but it didn't progress and fails.

I constantly get a notification that a new photo folder is found, on the exact same folder every time and I can't hot yes or no on. I also have up on the consistency of the photo backup because it normally either doesn't work at all or gives an error message when it does

This app has turned to complete garbage. I have quadruple checked everything and continue to get "account or password is invalid" I log into Synology with exactly the same account and password and have confirmed the QC ID is correct. Also have confirmed all ports are open on the routher.

Can you implement a feature to select all files within a range. Choose the first file the last file and the in the drop down that currently has "select all" and " deselect all" put another called "select interval" that will automatically select everything between the first and last selection. This is the only feature missing that makes it so I have to use another program for file transferring even though I like you layout and speed better.

Photo backup has a bug where it connects to the NAS, uploads a photo but then fails, status changes to reconnecting and then it repeats the process. My phone had been constantly uploading the same photo in the background, burning through 16gb of my data cap!! A warning to anyone with this feature enabled
