### 1/5 — Nice black screen, and then nothing happens

*2025-01-02*

Since this program lets you organize your photos and not just upload them, it looked like a real winner. I configured it and it uploaded a log file to my S3 bucket, but that’s it. The screen has stayed black and there’s no menus or nothing seems to change. I’ve killed the app and restarted it and I get the same thing.

**Developer response:** Did you tap the Sync button to initiate a Sync? It’s not automatic. Thank you.
