Its really frustrating that there's no good, opensource, Android media backup tool. I just want a simple app that will auto upload photos and videos to an https endpoint (or an S3 bucket).
There are a few tools out there but they all seem to have bit rotted to the point where they don't work reliably on modern Android.
- Symbiote 6y agoI use Syncthing to synchronize between my phone and desktop. It's a little confusing to set up the first time, but I've had it on this phone for 3 years and not needed to fiddle with it. (It uses its own protocol.)
- aoeuhtns 6y agoYup, after years of trying to make nextcloud, syncthing, etc work for my workflow (copy from flat photos folder on device -> flat photos staging folder on backup server, then a cron job organizes it into folders by year/month), I finally resorted to something manual. Termux + rsync on android. Every few days, I run the termux shortcut to rsync a folder, and delete what's copied over from my device. It just works.
