Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Many of DSPhoto Backup’s core features are available for free. The Pro version only unlocks advanced features such as fully automatic background photo backup. Pro subscriptions allow me to continuously improve the app, provide regular updates, ensure compatibility with new devices and NAS firmware, and offer quality support. Don’t hesitate to contact me (contact@dsphotobackup.app) if you want discuss. I hope you will reconsider the service in the future. Thomas.

Compatibilité

L’app semble super, mais j’ai déjà stocké en « Shared location » l’ensemble de mes photos/videos avec Synology Photo. Je m’attendais une compatibilité entre les deux (pas besoin de tout refaire), mais même en pointant sur le bon répertoire et en sélectionnant le bon format de sous répertoire, il ne semble pas trouver les photos déjà stockées. Il semble que la différence se situe au .JPG vs .jpg… Dommage car je n’ai pas envie de tout recommencer

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour, et ravi que l'app vous plaise ! Vous avez raison : la compatibilité avec les sauvegardes déjà effectuées via Synology Photos (notamment la différence .JPG / .jpg) est en cours de développement et arrivera dans une prochaine version. En attendant, pour éviter de tout re-sauvegarder, activez le filtre Date d'exclusion dans Paramètres → Exclusions, puis définissez la date Avant à aujourd'hui. Seules les nouvelles photos prises à partir de maintenant seront sauvegardées. N’hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin d’aide (contact@dsphotobackup.app). Thomas

Bonne app mais j’ai un crash du système régulier, ce qui m’oblige à relancer manuellement la sauvegarde

Verliert ständig Verbindung und Einstellung

Aus irgendeinem Grund werde ich manchmal abgemeldet und muss danach immer wieder alle Einstellungen erneut vornehmen. Wenn man nicht jedes Mal Mobilfunk abwählt, ist bei mir nach einem Tag das Datenvolumen weg.
Das größte Problem ist aber, nach der erneuten Anmeldung, wird nicht erkannt, welche Dateien schon synchronisiert worden sind.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The issue causing some users to be logged out unexpectedly was extremely rare and should now be resolved in the latest version of the app. Regarding the synchronization problem after signing in again, the app is normally able to detect which files have already been backed up, so this behavior is not expected. Please contact me directly at contact@dsphotobackup.app so I can investigate your specific case and help find a solution together. Sorry for the inconvenience, Thomas

What Synology Backup Should Be

I bought the one year to try it out but I’ll be buying the lifetime. Absolutely worth it if you want something robust, reliable and customizable.
