I’m kind of surprised I’ve struggled with this so long. Right now I’ve been using nextcloud camera upload, and mostly it works ok but shits the bed once in a while without me noticing and I need to spend time fixing it and it’s never as simple as turning it off and on again.

I recently tried syncthing, and while it works, it frequently crashed and got stuck in a state where it says it’s on and working by my destination folder is shown as disconnected, and the options to restart syncthing from the side menu are greyed out and the only way to make it work again is by force closing it and reopening it.

I’m running vanilla stock Google Android and truenas, does anyone have a better solution?

    Rsync, termux widget with a bash. Press button and it syncs my photos to my server filesystem

      Sounds like the easiest method lol. At least that way I could add in something to delete photos after copying them if they’re X days old.

        Definitely easiest and most manual, but not “robust” I guess but its hard for it to fail you’re more likely to have user error than system error
