Can’t playback videos?
Backed up my whole gallery on the NAS then found out that the app gets stuck at Loading every time I try to playback videos. I have to force quit the app to exit the loading screen. Photos open up just fine. My 15pro is on 18.0.
I have seen the disconnection issue that others are mentioning but that didn’t bothered me that much.Show lessFK111_
Slow and unreliable
I’ve been trying to back up my phone pictures for 2 weeks and it’s only done 1/4 of them so far. Find a better app.
Problems:
- doesn’t background upload. App needs to be left open.
- SLOW. I don’t understand why the transfer is so slow. I’ve moved to a Samba sync/backup and it’s now 10x faster using PhotoSync app. I made more progress in 1 night with PhotoSync than 2 weeks with this app.
- Drains battery way more than other apps. Not sure what protocole it’s using but this is unnecessary.
- It loses its connections all the time. It’s slow and then somehow randomly stops in the middle of the night.
- It doesn’t support some photos and videos in my camera roll. It’s an iPhone, it seems like there’s that much to support. I don’t know what it’s actually backing up and what it’s skipping. You can’t just backup some things or else it’s not an actual backup!Show lessTeknullog

Due to iOS restrictions, it's not possible to upload data in the background. Therefore, AiFoto 3 includes a "Sleep time backup" feature where the app remains in the foreground with the screen off, ideally while charging. Our current thumbnail creation mechanism utilizes client-side resources on iPhones to produce thumbnails, which are then uploaded to NAS. This approach speeds up thumbnail creation, saving time overall. However, thumbnail creation increases the time compared to simply transferring files, but we believe this method provides users quicker access to image files. Could you confirm if you are using ezconnect.to for your connection, or LAN IP or DDNS? If you have any unsupported image files, please provide them to us at curtishsu@asustor.com so we can clarify the issue. Thank you.Several Problems
The app has several problems that make it frustrating to use. First about half of the photos don’t display and are represented only by black boxes. If you click on the photo to view it full screen it goes to a black screen. Second multiple MyPhoto folders are shown when there is in fact only one.Show lessHardRockJon

Could you please tell us how you to upload photos to a NAS? If one uses the AiFoto 3 app on phone to upload photos and with Photo Gallery 3.2.2.r547 in NAS, it'll create thumbnails using the phone resources. Therefore, no grey square boxes on the UI. But if you transfer photo files directly to a folder in ADM's file explorer from a computer, and this folder is a media source for Photo Gallery 3/AiFoto 3, the NAS will use its resources to create thumbnails. This process will take more time, and before the thumbnails are generated, gray boxes will appear in their place. There are a number of MyPhoto folder problems that we have not yet encountered. Please take a screenshot and send the relevant information (NAS model, ADM version, Photo Gallery version, etc.) to curtishsu@asustor.com, and we will help further clarify the problem. We will help to further clarify the issue. Thank you!
