Sync uploads from Android

Hi!

I just installed Piwigo and donated, so far it looks great!

After looking through the interface, the documentation, the forum, and some other sources, I think I've seen another comment on this but without a resolution. Is there a method to synchronize uploads from Android automatically? If not, this seems like it would be a useful feature.

With Huawei or Google photo managers, they automatically upload new photos and videos. In the Piwigo app, from what I have seen it only uploads manually?

Also, does anyone know of a workaround? For example, is there some convenient FTP app for Android or any other technique to upload new photos and videos to Piwigo automatically?

Re: Sync uploads from Android

It seems like Nextcloud (https://nextcloud.com/) handles autosync from Android. I found a website that describes how to use Nextcloud with Piwigo. Nextcloud also seems to include its own tools for upload photos and videos. If anyone's interested, this seems like a viable method.

Can you post the website link?

Re: Sync uploads from Android

I doubt they are still active after a year..
However, I didn't try but it probably boils down to
1) find the directory in your Nextcloud account into which Nextcloud is auto-syncing the images, like YourNextcloudData/YourNextcloudAccount/files/Photos/
2) on file system level symbolic-link that or subdirectories thereof into the piwigo/galleries/ directory
3) now and then do a FTP-sync in Piwigo
Be aware that 3) would publish everything that your phone auto-syncs into those directories unless you made the top level album(s) under galleries/ private.

If that doesn't work then wade through searches of
https://www.qwant.com/?q=nextcloud+AND+piwigo&t=web
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nextcloud+AND … amp;ia=web
but there doesn't seem to be much specific with actual solutions.
