I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I’m a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I’m not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I’m making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I’m not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14

    I don’t have the time, or quite frankly the inclination, to try, when I can just switch to immich and/or syncthing (currently evaluating my options right now). I will say we noticed photos missing from my wife’s upload as well, so that’s two android clients and one server. That plus the complaints in the link I provided are all the evidence I need to bail.

      Just wanted to watch out for you cause I ran into this with Immich. It doesn’t chunk uploads. So if you haveva big video, it will never upload because anytime it gets interrupted, it has to start over.
