I have more than 100k photos stored on NAS and i find moments to be very slow. It took weeks to generate thumbnails, switching between tabs i refresh for 10-15 seconds before showing anything, right click capabilities like in Google photos are missing, randomly some of the thumbnails do not get generated and there is no way to generate/remove them rather than re-installing app. I find this app too slow for large amount of pictures.

This application is awesome if you want to replace Google photos cloud storage in terms of privacy. It is fairly responsive. two default in my view though: - facial recognition is not as effective as google's, you have to manually add people... can be annoying when importing thousands of pics. - No options as far as I can see to show local storage when you take a picture as Google photos would do. In my opinion an easy fix if the devs work on it.

App decided to backup everything on my SD card (~15GB), even though I had set it to backup new photos only. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if it didn't happen over celluar - I essentially ran out of my data overnight. Also, the app is incredibly slow when loading photos; even when on the same LAN as the server.

Just like what other people said, I really want to use this app instead of google photos. But this app gives me a big dissapointment and I fallback to google photos again. I know it is unfair to compare this app with google photos, because google photos has a powerful backend that can process the photos backup and creating thumbnail much faster, but this app just don't do what it should do in a good way. What I'm saying here is that I got error message very often saying that the session expired and then need to login again. Why should that happen? I never had session expired in my google photos. Moreover, the auto backup does not work automatically in the background, you need to login to the app and enable the backup everytime. I like the idea to backup photos and videos to the private cloud storage, but this app just don't do its job properly. I hope Synology can improve this in the future. Until then, I'll just leave two stars here. Still much more improvement to do.

When I tried to do backup, the upload suspended due connection lost and I could not resume the upload. The only way is to reinstall the this mobile app and restart the whole backup again. Very bad experience.

Generally satisfied with the app and features are comparable to other cloud apps. One star is taken away for video playback and the inability to 'select all' when selecting photos for upload. The video playback works but buffers a lot. For those that complain about uploading failing or slow, check the CPU utilization on your NAS. If it is more than 50%, consider putting the 'index' and 'thumbnail' process on hold until all files are uploaded. Thumbnail will still be slow tho.
