This has been one of the key features I've been waiting for to finally be able to move away from Google Photos and OneDrive for mobile photos backup.

Of course it's photos only, and not an arbitrary folder sync, which would be able to do the same and much more. So annoying.

Agreed, but it does say 'other folders coming soon'. So hopefully that wont take too long.

I didn't see that. That's awesome!

Doesnt show any photos you've already uploaded to Drive (you know, the thousands you'd like to see). Their answer was download everything and reupload it.

Can't select folders to upload. Defaults to DCIM/Camera.

Only works with a wifi connection, no option for mobile data.

Well that's pretty inconvenient. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing, I was not aware of it, and it worked like a charm.

Nice. I currently have been using my Synology nas that's doing fine with syncing but now I can have another backup
