Add support for media (photos and video) sync

Open prabirshrestha opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Currently there is no good app to auto sync photos and videos to WebDAV let alone a secure crypted auto backup. The closest I have found is PhotoSync which still requires us to manually click backup.

It would be good if ccViewer supported this backup similar to google photos. Few features I can think of

  • allow to select the custom folder path. I prefer to backup to folder in YYYY/mm/dd format so if folder doesn’t exist it should auto create.
  • allow to select custom file name. Since I have multiple devices I prefer to append device name to the original file name so it doesn’t conflict with other devices.
  • add option to auto delete photo video once uploaded. This should move the file to trash. Or even better if similar to google photos where I can manually click free up space and then only deletes it from phone.

Thank you for suggesting. This app start from a viewer, so sync support is poor. I know sync support is needed but I'll work for Files.app support first. This feature will be implemented next period.

Sounds good. Also one important option to add is to only sync on WiFi or WiFi +cellular. When I’m traveling outside of US I don’t want my cellular data plan to be taken by backup :)

Another thing to also look into is handling large files so it doesn’t retry forever. Currently gopro generates 4gb for 17 min which means uploading doesn’t work due to large files.

Would be good to have max file size to auto upload or even better if we can configure converters so the video is smaller :)

Given that google photos is ending the free unlimited storage any plans to support sync soon?
