Best app I‘ve bought

Perfect for Synology and backing up thousands of photos and videos. Lifetime buy.

Family share not work

I bought the app, I was impressed how well it was designed.

But it stopped working after recent update. Backup appeared to be complete but no file is saved to the NAS.

Also family share does not work.

I like it

This app is easy to use. It used to have a feature to automatically delete photos after backup and I miss that.

Stabil, aber fängt nach Abbruch immer neu an

zuerst war ich begeistert von der Software, dass sie stabil meine Bilder auf die Synology sichert. Mein Tablet sperrt sich nach einiger Zeit automatisch danach bricht der Sync ab..
Was mich nun extrem stört, ist das bei erneutem Staaten das Back-up immer wieder von vorne los läuft und natürlich dann irgendwann wieder abbricht. Beim einfachsten Kopierprogramm gibt es die Option, beim Abbruch an der vorherigen Stelle weiter zu machen. Bei dieser Software nicht, diese fängt immer wieder von vorne an.
Dafür sind mir 3 Euro im Monat zu viel Geld.

Flawless design, solid performance, and perfect sync!

This app is a game-changer! Its intuitive and beautifully designed user interface makes navigation a breeze, and it’s exceptionally stable. The standout feature is its synchronization, which ensures your backup is always up-to-date.

The app crashes during album synchronization

Unfortunately, the app is not usable. Although images are sent to the NAS, the app crashes as soon as the album synchronization starts. No purchase recommendation!

Better than the branded app

More options than the two photos apps I tried from Synology. I am more than happy to support the devs through my subscription. Now if Apple will stop blocking the auto backup process, it would be great. But I love that the app alerts me when there are photos that weren’t able to be automatically backed up. I’ve been using it for close to, if not more, than a year.

Great app, needs better documentation

The app is doing the things perfectly and it creates the sub folders exactly how I need them. Very flexible. Missing a better documentation of the options. On the Mac app, the documentation is missing completely!

Excellent tool

Was able to migrate 30k+ seamlessly to my Synology NAS while maintaining my iCloud photo albums and Favorites. Developer responded to questions quickly. Thanks for a great product!

We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying our app! Your kind words and support mean a lot to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

This works great!!

This is the exact software I would write to do this job. All the options I needed and it’s super fast.
Apple gives you little option to download your own pictures.
I like diskstation software but this app is even better than DS stuff.
Copied about 129GB in 8 hours. Much faster than apple or Google. About 32 items a minute.

Doppelt Zahlen ist neue Mode

App vor Jahren gekauft und plötzlich will man zusätzlich nochmal 45,- für eine Lifetime Version, die man vor Jahren schon einmal gekauft hat. Statt eine neue App raus zu bringen und den Nutzern die alten Funktionen zu lassen wird einfach vom Entwickler das Produkt geändert! Hier frisst Hirn! Solche Entwickler müsste man verbieten. Damals hatte man für das Geld auch schon Probleme, vielleicht hätte man da ja mal überdenken können, ob man da nicht erstmal in der Bringschuld ist und man denen als Wiedergutmachung Lifetime geschenkt hätte, aber zum Glück gibt es ja diese hier absolut unberechtigte Gier nach Geld… Abzocker… Punkt aus Ende

Finally: backing up or synchronising

I discovered this app just a few days ago - and I was thrilled. It only takes a short time to set the desired parameters.
Then I missed the synchronisation. It's hard to believe, but the April update delivered exactly that. Now the app is perfect. Many thanks to the developers!
