I’m on iOS 26.6, I can clearly see that there are Live Photos backed up in the all media and photos tabs but when I go to the Live Photos tab to filter them, nothing shows except a message that says “There are no items matching your filter.” Still testing it out but so far that’s the one issue I’ve noticed. Seems nice otherwise though. ### 4/5 — Leider kein WebDAV *2026-08-08* Mit WebDAV Funktionalität hätte es noch einen Stern dazu gegeben. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2026-08-07* You have absolutely no ability to control how much access to your photos and files this app has; none. Everything on the company’s website is a downright lie **Developer response:** This isn’t accurate. You can control exactly how much photo access the app has through your device’s permission settings. If you grant partial or no photo access, some features will be disabled. We do this intentionally to avoid confusion. Otherwise users might assume all their photos are being backed up when we don’t actually have access to them. We’d be glad to help if you can describe the specific use case that isn’t working for you. Please reach out to our support team with more details. ### 4/5 — iCloud users read: *2026-07-19* If you’re switching to Jottacloud as an alternative to iCloud photos, beware that although Jottacloud will store live photos as live photos in the cloud, they are not shareable or downloadable as anything other than a still image outside the cloud. So if you want to send a photo to someone and let them see the live photo, it’s not possible. It would be good to know that there may be a future way to share live photos as they are, otherwise I’ll have to switch back to iCloud. Could developers answer whether this is being worked on? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, but if you want to share Live Photos you can do it by sharing them as a link or put them in a shared album. The Live Photos can also be downloaded again by selecting the download option (and not share option). The Live Photos are only downloadable as Live Photos on iOS devices. We are currently looking into how we can improve sharing, so we appreciate the feedback and I hope we manage to keep you as a customer. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Für Einzelperson super *2026-07-18* Mein Zweck konnte Jottacloud nicht erfüllen. Wir haben das Familienabo gebucht. Dabei war natürlich ein Ziel, auch gemeinsame Bereiche (Urlaubsordner) zu erstellen und aktiv von allen Familienmitgliedern zu bearbeiten. Es ging nicht, einen Bereich zu definieren, auf den alle Familienmitglieder Zugriff haben. Wenn ein Familienmitglied einen Ordner erstellt und freigibt, scheiterte eine gemeinsame Nutzung ebenfalls. Dabei waren die Probleme je nach genutztem Gerät unterschiedlich. Mal konnte man trotz Einladungslink nicht zum Ordner, da ich immer in meinen Bereich eingelockt wurde, oder es konnten Bilder gesehen, aber keine hochgeladen werden. Die Einrichtung wirkt einfach, aber es funktioniert nicht, die Hilfen in der App oder im Wen helfen nicht weiter. Fazit: Ein tolles, schnelles, sicheres Cloudsystem mit Datensicherheit in Europa. Für gemeinsam nutzbare Bereiche absolut ungeeignet. Daher werden wir das Abo wieder kündigen und den Schweizer Konkurrenten ausprobieren. Schade. ☹️ **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für dein ausführliches und ehrliches Feedback. Du hast recht, die gemeinsame Nutzung von Ordnern und Fotos entspricht aktuell nicht unserem eigenen Anspruch, gerade für ein Familienabo, wo genau das im Mittelpunkt stehen sollte. Wir arbeiten derzeit aktiv daran, das Teilen von Dateien und Fotos zu verbessern. Ziel ist es, gemeinsame Alben zu ermöglichen, in denen die ganze Familie sowohl Fotos hochladen als auch herunterladen kann, so wie du es dir gewünscht hast. Uns ist bewusst, dass das für eure Entscheidung wahrscheinlich zu spät kommt, aber wir wollten es trotzdem ehrlich ansprechen statt drumherum zu reden. Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, dies so detailliert zu schildern. Das hilft uns wirklich weiter. ### 3/5 — Simple to use but *2026-07-10, version 26.6.2* Not been using this long as an alternative Google drive. Fairly logical system BUT, oh dear, it’s really slow to download whilst watching a stored video. Lots of stuttering & freezing. Might cancel the sub. ### 2/5 — Brak wielu udogodnień *2026-07-02, version 26.6.1* Serwer działa szybko ale aplikacja i filtrowanie to tragedia. Na głównym ekranie nie da się modyfikować linków np. Żeby dodać swoje ulubione foldery lub kategorie. Ustawienia powinnne być możliwie bardziej edytowane dla użytkownika. Np chciałbym na głównej zobaczyć archiwum lub folder z archiwum tam dodać a nie mogę i muszę szukać bardzo długo. Nie ma opcji wyszukiwania nazwy folderów tylko nazwy plików. ### 4/5 — Löschen von Bildern *2026-06-25* Leider funktioniert das löschen von Bildern erst nach Neustart des Telefon hängt manchmal **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback und es tut uns leid, dass das Löschen von Bildern nicht zuverlässig funktioniert und die App dabei manchmal hängt. Das ist definitiv kein erwartetes Verhalten. Bitte wende dich direkt an unseren Support, damit sich jemand dein Konto genauer ansehen und der Ursache auf den Grund gehen kann. Unser Team wird sich dann bei dir melden, um das Problem gemeinsam mit dir zu lösen. Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, dies zu melden. Das hilft uns wirklich weiter. ### 5/5 — Can’t upload to iPhone files app *2026-05-25, version 26.4.1* Doesn’t work with the files app no matter how much you toggle the button in settings. A waste of money! Edit: the developer’s message worked! Thanks a lot! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-05-06, version 26.4.0* Muy contento ## Frequently asked questions about Jottacloud ### What does Jottacloud do?
