Synology Photos

Does an ok job. Constantly and randomly shows "connection timed out" which means you have to sign back in, and re-enable backup syncing, which means your photos haven't been backing up for you don't know how long. It's really annoying. When it works, it's great. Would love it to remain stable. I don't see anything in their support notes regarding this issue, so for now I'm living with it.

I do want to mention that my experience with this app is about 20 minutes but I am already blown away how dang good it is. I could not imagine an app to be similar or possibly even better than the Google photos app. I've had Google photos for about 6 years and I have loved it except for the new cost. I take a lot of photos. What I've been doing is manually backing up my photos to Synology for about a decade now. I've used Google photos to look at my photos. It seems like this app does everything

IDK what people complain about. Extended family of 6 using one server no probs. Update: upgraded to 5* form 3* as I am starting to appreciate the more nuanced and intricate sharing abilities. The app made huge progress with default folders and back up cue monitoring. Works like a charm. Get more RAM btw! Earlier review: Huge step back from DS Photos in many ways (back up management, cue, monitoring; default sorting; etc) Where is the basic feature of DS Photos showing recently uploaded photos!?
