Android: Pictures are not uploading

[Wanni48]

Just freshly installed OC-Client on Android. Great to see that you can automatically upload pictures and videos. However enabling it and chosing the right location it does not upload any pictures.
Opencloud does not show up in the apps who have the right to access the picture folder. But as well not as an app which does not have this right. Means it never tried?
What do I miss?

Ok, I missed: it only does if for new pictures. No possibility to therefore use is to backup old pictures :-(

I find it completely useless, it's only good for managing individual files, there's no sync options of ANY kind. For sync, you should use another application from play store.
EDIT: To be completely clear, you can take a new pic, and wait for auto upload, and then upload all the other files from the camera folder manually, so that it's sort of synced, but it's really not the point here.

For me, nothing is syncing - not even newly taken pictures. I've got the default docker-compose setup going, and normal / manual uploads from the Android app work with no issues.

I've used the default settings (Picture upload from DCIM/Camera to Personal: /CameraUpload), but even after waiting for 60+ minutes, no sync is happening. Is there a way to debug what is (or isn't) happening?

After further experimentation, it does seem to work as described - new photos are being synced. However, I did have to re-do the sync setup on my Android app before files started showing up. The whole thing seems a bit flaky, and I'm not sure I fully trust that the syncing keeps working - it'd be nice to have some sort of visible logging for it.
