Auto-transfer photos to Nas drive

[Ian Tiffenberg]

Is it possible to use Tasker, so that once a photo is taken it automatically transfers (backsup) to my NAS drive? On Android S7 Edge.

Have Photosync app, however, the auto-transfer feature rarely works and therefore requires manual intervention, which is self-defeating.

Cheers

Anyone able to assist, please?

Not sure this will work, but have you tried FolderSync (which does have a Tasker plugin)? Next to a variety of cloud services, it also allows syncing via (S)FTP or SMB.

Thanks. Part tried it. I think it may work even with Lite version of Foldersync, as Tasker will start the sync when the folder is modified. Only question is over the folder naming/creation as it seems to create duplicate folders with timestamps despite selecting option to only add new photo.

Actually the Task to check when file is modified is not running. Any ideas?

[Ian Tiffenberg]

Ok, so it's a modification to the 'file' and not the folder! Is there a way to achieve this? So a mod to a folder ie a new photo, then the task to copy ia run.

I know this still isn't an answer on how to do this with Tasker, but if the nas is made by Synology, their DS File app also has an option to automatically sync photos.

WD nas. They stopped the photo transfer app. Have Photosync which is very good, great UI, but unfortunately the auto-transfer feature is hit and miss on my phone for some reason.

Setup Tasker to do it, but it is also hit and miss. Only works when toggling wifi when already connected to it. Want it to auto-transfer when out and when it connects to wifi when i get home (or any wifi) that auto-transfer begins. Or if already connected to wifi it should auto-transfer.

Foldersync, already mentioned, functions both as a Tasker plugin and as a standalone app. It has the ability to monitor for file changes and automatically sync. And you can tell it to sync over mobile data or not. May be the best choice, as long as it can get to your NAS when outside your home network.
