Pictures synchronization issue in eDrive

I am running on /e/ OS 0.14-2021012999010 and the problem is unfortunately still there.

Many thanks for your kind support @Manoj

Seems like there should be an option added to ‘sync only via WiFi’. And maybe the ‘sync now’ operation would override that? I don’t know if this already exists, I didn’t see it in the account settings.

is there any update on the synch problem?
Also on my new FP3+ with /e/ OS 0.14-2021012999010 just installed last week, the photo synch doesn’t work (from the beginning)…

Pas de synchronisation des images depuis la mise à jour 0.14-2021012598290. C’est génant :wink:

I have the same issues with my Gigaset GS 290.
No file sync for a few days now.
I tried to delete the account and add it again - no effect.
When I add my ecloud.global Account now, another two accounts are added automatically, is this normal?


This wasn’t the case on first setup.

Any news on this yet? My last photo sync was 10+ days ago.

Pl can you raise an issue on gitlab if not already done. Was testing it on a different device sync was slow but was taking place. The only issue was in case where an SD card was being used as the storage location. This is a known issue.

Thanks for your reply

Following update on this topic: It seems that last night at 0:30 something has been synchronised.
But:

  1. it seemed to work only “downwards” (a photo I added to the cloud was synced to my phone, photos I have taken with my phone have not been synced to the cloud)
  2. since then nothing happened, i tried it with some test-files.

What is the system behind the synchronisation? Which folders are synced in which frequency? Maybe this helps to reproduce the problem.

In my case, there has never been any synchronisation nor upwards nor downwards since I installed /e/ one month ago… Currently I am using Dropbox but it’s not a convenient solution.

Indeed, knowing the usual synching frequecy to the cloud might help.

As an alternative/temporary solution, has anybody tried to use the nextcloud app or does it only work if you run your own server?

I used to see this too, but now it seems that my photo sync is completely broken.

Hi all,

also no syncing at my side after a few days. On Gs290 with 0.14 build.

Is this the only solution to have our pictures synched? Have anyone tried it yet?
Still haven’t seen any picture synching since I installed /e/ nearly 2 months ago…

J’ai effectué la mise à jour 0.15 il y a quelques jours et toujours pas de synchronisation des photos !

I recently migrated to /e/ OS 0.15-20210317106351 and the synchronization is now working perfectly (on FairPhone 3).

I migrate to 0.15 too and photos is in cloud.
But I dont know if it is working.
Many photos that I deleted from my device are still in cloud. And new pics was not uploaded. Even if I force the sync in account sync manager.

But what I really wonder is if that first sync (and the future ones) was (and will be) made in mobile data. If so, I prefer to disable it.
Can anyone confirm if the photo sync is enable in wifi AND mobile data?

*update - alive in here:

In my case pictures synchronization worked wonders for a couple of hours after migrating to 0.15 but it has again stopped working 15 days ago… This is such a mess.
What about you?

The official NextCloud app works reliably with eDrive. With only seconds of delay it uploads photos to the eDrive.

Currently on 0.16 (FP3, stable) and it’s been 30 minutes since activating the build in sync with no photos visible on eDrive :confused:
