On iOS it takes forever. Days. The upload rate is slow as hell.


All depends on your server and settings and network of course... But the mobile clients could probably do more uploads in parallel, like the desktop client does.

Just keep in mind it uploads the original files, not, like eg whatsapp, downsized, compressed one that is 1/10th the size...


Not sure why you’re downvoted - those are legitimate questions.

I’m on a local network over WiFi. The “server” is a RPi3+ with an extrernal USB 3 drive. Granted, I don’t expect it to be blazing-fast, but not 3-5 pictures-per-hour slow either.

Something is fundamentally broken on the iOS app especially since both the Windows and OSX clients are much faster (same network).


3-5 pics per hour is indeed insane, that is a certainly some bug. Especially if it is iOS specific. Be sure to file the bug with as much info as possible (see if you can probe network activity or just see if the app uploads a file and waits for 10 minutes or something...)

We do very frequent releases so perhaps it'll just be fixed at some point ;-)

Good luck and sorry for the problem!


Thanks, I appreciate it. I may try it again now that you said that - it’s been a solid year since I installed it (version 10?) right after the split from OwnCloud.

I often find myself in your shoes in my daily work - answering frustrated users’ emails - but it’s funny how when the tables are turned, I am reminded how something as simple as “we fix stuff frequently, and sorry for the problem” makes a huge difference in product perception.

Also, it’s a free product, you don’t owe me an apology at all, but thanks!
