When using the Auto Backup on my Android phone, all photos and videos are backed up to my selected folder as they should. However, as soon as I move them from the folder (to my photo library for example) the app automatically backs up the file again from my device.
This means that all of my phone photos (60gb) are always in my back up folder even if I have copied them I to folder that I want them to be stored in.
This didn’t happen in OS3. The app remembered which files it had backed up from your phone and wouldn’t back them up again once you moved them out of the back up folder.
I hope this makes sense and is anyone else having this issue?
@RichArnold There are significant differenced between the OS 3 and OS 5 auto backup (sync) process.
In My Cloud OS 5, the autobackup feature on Android and iOS will sync content from your mobile phone so that all the content on your device remains backed up and safe. If content from the mobile phone is added to the auto backup folder and later deleted or moved from the folder on the My Cloud, the autobackup will add the same content back to the My Cloud as long as it resides on the mobile device.
Not a fan of this feature at all. Months ago(DURING OS3)there were issues just logging into the device. I had to sign out of my cloud sign in again, then it made new copy of my existing phone file, just to be safe I would move those doubles into there proper file and would be prompted that the pic or file already exists, would you like to copy over it, done and done. double are out of the way everything is cleaned up. Now in os5 it all comes back to where you don’t want it.
Please change this, It worked fine the way before
I gave up. Bought a Synology 220+ and I’ve got to admit, it’s absolutely night and day in every regard. Everything works seamlessly and quicker. The gui is 100x better, they have thought of every little job you could think of needing to do with your storage and have created an app for it to weave it faultlessly into the operation.
My eyes have been seriously opened as to how a NAS setup should be.
