@Lapizistik @seism0saurus +1 für @restic.
Oder direkt @rclone wenn man etwas auf dem #Handy syncen möchte.
Unter #Android kann ich dazu #RoundSync empfehlen:
Somit kann man fast alles als #Backend verwenden und die #Daten auch auf dem Desktop oder #Server #entschlüsseln.
@afreytes @zstg although following the foldersync hashtag link just then, I found this post from @sesivany which recommended #RoundSync on #FDroid - That gives me another one to check out.

Mostly at this point I am just documenting this in case it saves someone else in the same boat some time. So excuse the babbling
My mother-in-law set up the #Nextcloud app to back up photos from her #Android phone. However, no photos were uploaded. I thought she did something wrong, but in fact it was set up correctly, including all permissions. But nothing was even queued for upload. I couldn't make it work either.
I got a recommendation for #FolderSync, but it's freemium and it felt fishy with all the data consent dialogs. Then I went to #FDroid and discovered #RoundSync and wow, it's a great piece of software, clean, lean and does reliably what I want it to do. The sad fact is that @newhinton, app developer, gets 3€/month for it on Liberapay. We really need to get more money into open source apps.
