Photo Sync for Box (Uploader)

Same issue as others.. When you try and activate uploads it just keeps trying to upload the first photo over and over again and never moves down the list. The upload progress bar fills up, gets to the end, then it just starts on the same photo again. Never moves on. Same for wifi or data. Using Xperia Z3 on kit kat.

Used to be great and 5 star. Won't work now.

With identical settings it works fine on a Nexus 7. Wasted my money because I use the phone for taking the majority of photo's.

If you got the free Box 50GBs for life account like I did then this app is a must. I've uploaded over 6GBs of photos and videos. I've had some repeat upload issues. But that only happens when the apps cache is cleared or reinstalled. This app does what it claims flawlessly.

Settings menu is unhelpful and lacks the basics, like manual force upload or choosing which which pictures. Only two options: re-upload EVERYTHING or start with just future pictures. Plus I don't always want every image on my phone backed up. It's a waste.

Thanks for the app, Dev. One suggestion is to offer an option to NOT upload videos, only pictures. I think a lot of people would agree that they don't need a bunch of 200mb videos backed up, but forget to delete them.

Easy app to use with Box account. All the features I needed. Only issue I have is the app doesn't upload to the folder I designate. No biggie. Probably my error anyway I just move the photos in Box to the desired folder.

Is development dead? I see many reporting the same issue where it continuously tries to upload first photo over and over. Been a long time since there was an update. Almost 1 year.

This app is AMAZING... when it works. It uploads a few dozen photos so you can happily feel safe knowing all your pics are backed up. Then it freezes on 1 photo and repeats over and over. killing battery, wasting time/data etc. I have rebooted, cleared cache, reinstalled, tried all things because the app would be GREAT if it didn't freeze all the time. If they fix this it will get 5 stars, but an App that doesn't work, gets 1. Sorry. This is a known issue you haven't fixed and people PAY YOU for this. Fix it or give us our money back.

Last month the app used up 100 gb of my wifi data. I had less than 3gb of photos and videos, which means it just uploaded the same files multiple times. Now I dont have any data to netflix!!

Keeps trying to sync the same photo over and over but fails, draining enormous amount of battery.

I was very happy with this app but now it's synching same file all the time no new pic is uploaded at all. Fix it asap

Please fix. As others have reported, it is no longer uploading photos. It just attempts to upload the same photo over and over. Even tried deleting a sequence of photos that it was stuck on, but still hangs on next one in sequence :-(.

Was working fine before, but now can't upload pictures. Look like it's trying but just can't!

Great that you can set to upload only on WiFi and only while charging but the app keeps logging me out, so if I want my smartphone photos to upload, I have to keep logging in. Update 13/11/14: The app seems to stay logged in lately. However photos uploaded tend to get duplicated and so I have to manually go and delete the duplicates.Update 24/11/14: Developer has updated the software to resolve the logging out issue. Thank you and rating updated to reflect this. Duplicate photo issue is still a problem though.

When this app works properly, it's perfect. However, I have been having some problems lately. The signing out issue seems to have been resolved, but for the past few weeks the sync does not work at all. Every time a photo tries to upload it doesn't seem to ever fully make it, so the upload starts over. As such, the app is in a perpetual state of trying to upload my photos, but none of them ever actually do it, rendering the app essentially worthless. If this issue is resolved, I will give 5 stars.

Have had this app for a while and had very few issues with it, just the occasional log out. However, recently it has stopped working. When I plug in, it starts, but can't complete the upload of an image. It's seems to be in a perpetual state of trying to upload. Consequently I haven't been able to upload any photos successfully since October. Have reinstalled app but this hasn't worked.

Its pretty decent and I purchased it to mainly sync my photos well but it is not completely working as per the options given in your app. I have unchecked the option for video sync but it keeps uploading them for some reason. Could you please fix this so I don't have to manually cancel them each time I get a video or make one.

Please note: once I uninstalled and reinstalled Photo Sync for Box (Uploader ) then it worked GREAT!! ----- seems to have been an issue when moved from old app to the new app... Now I'm VERY HAPPY!! :-)

Tries and fails to upload the same file relentlessly. Such a shame as this app is what Box users need. Please fix it, if you can. Thankyouplease.

#right now all it does is repeatedly upload the same file and start all over again. There is no reporting of failed uploads due to box restrictions just a notification that goes away. Lacking the option to only upload from now on not every photo prior to instalation. Very primitive app. Improve

Used to work perfectly to upload my camera photos to Box as I took them and did everything I needed. Was using Dropbox, but I ran out of space. With my new PC purchase, I got 50GB free for life on Box :-), but without this app, it was of limited use to me. Previously, it was a worthwhile purchase. But since I got Lollipop on Note4, this app randomly hangs up on a photo and keeps trying but never uploads it, drains battery fast for nothing! Using Google Photos now.

App does not work well. It will not upload pictures anymore. Something changed and hasn't been fixed. I have to uninstall and reinstall it for the pictures to upload, then they upload to wrong folder because it has new settings from reinstalling. Ended up a waste of my money!

Used to be a 5 star app. Now it is broken. Happens just Like other reviews said. This app used to work great. Now it hangs on a given picture and uploads the same one over and over and over again. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes it temporarily, and then the problem returns. Xperia Z1 on 4.4.4

I loved this app and relied on it heavily for backing up my photos. It's been at least a couple of months since my last upload. It's stuck attempting to upload the same photo over and over again. I am forced to search for an alternative while this gets fixed.

Just uploading the same photo continually.

Just ate through 15GB worth of mobile data but didn't actually upload anything. Good thing I'm on unlimited.

I have the same experience as Ivaylo. This is one of my favorite apps. I am on a Samsung galaxy note 4.

Its not working anymore from 13th august. Keep uploading same picture. Can I have refund for this?

Log in and it always stuck on the same file

It works

I would just like a list of folders it is pulling files from, as well as a maybe a total upload size. Right now I am just hoping it found all the files on my SD and internal memory. Looks as of it won't read hidden, not a big deal though.

Provides absolute peace of mind in that you know your precious memories are safe! The one issue I do have is that all pictures and videos are dumped in to the same folder which makes it awkward trying to dig through it all, if all pictures were uploaded to dated folders that would make it so much more user friendly.

Update: version 3.0.8 keeps the new "Upload folder" you have chosen in settings. I did have to uninstall and then re-install to clear out some old settings after the update. One problem remains - something is still creating a "Camera Uploads" folder in my box account. If it's not this updated version, perhaps it's the "disabled" app on my wife's phone. But I don't see how it could be doing that if it's disabled. I think this version may be still creating a rouge folder "Camera Uploads." While the app is nice, and it's probably the easiest to set up for camera photos, I've installed and began to use the app "FolderSync" to do my syncing. Partly because it will sync whatever folders you want and it can go both ways if you need it to. However, for a purely camera sync, this app is good. OLD REVIEW: As mentioned a few times, the upload folder (target destination) on Box won't stay set and appears to change back. Eventually the setting entry will revert to the default folder.

This is a great app. Much needed since you get more free space with Box than you get with other cloud services. the only issue i have encountered was that every so often, the app somehow gets logged out of Box. I will notice that I haven't seen the upload notification in a while and then open the app and have to reauthenticate to Box. Cant figure out why this happens.

With identical settings it works fine on a Nexus 7. Wasted my money because I use the phone for taking the majority of photo's.

Every couple of weeks it seemed to roll back to the default upload directory rather than the one I set. Also I had too many occasions when I deleted files on Box and they got re-uploaded from the phone. I liked it, but in the end switched to another app, Folder Sync.

Update, app does not hold set up folder where I want to upload my photos... Keep changing that to default ... Why? I hate it!

Great app that is easily worth the spend. It does however fail to recognize the phone being charged wirelessly, which is a disappointment.
