This. Their sync on android sucks big time. I go to my gallery, select 20 pictures and send them to Nextcloud, only to find only 5 of them have been actually uploaded. It happens every.single.time. Gonna switch to Seafile really soon.
Perhaps the grandparent commentor is using an older version of the android client or server?
In my case, I managed to track it down and, by knowing what causes the sync issue, I can avoid it, or ignore it. Could be that grandparent has this issue too bu her/his server is set to much lower limits even?
Just keep in mind it uploads the original files, not, like eg whatsapp, downsized, compressed one that is 1/10th the size...
I’m on a local network over WiFi. The “server” is a RPi3+ with an extrernal USB 3 drive. Granted, I don’t expect it to be blazing-fast, but not 3-5 pictures-per-hour slow either.
Something is fundamentally broken on the iOS app especially since both the Windows and OSX clients are much faster (same network).
We do very frequent releases so perhaps it'll just be fixed at some point ;-)
Good luck and sorry for the problem!
I often find myself in your shoes in my daily work - answering frustrated users’ emails - but it’s funny how when the tables are turned, I am reminded how something as simple as “we fix stuff frequently, and sorry for the problem” makes a huge difference in product perception.
Also, it’s a free product, you don’t owe me an apology at all, but thanks!
Maybe Seafile somehow found a good solution that doesn't cause breakage in other places. Any specific reason you want to switch to them?
OP just told you the problem
From a server admin perspective, they support docker natively and there support of WebDAV and FUSE give you a lot of flexibility in how you can leverage the software.
