Backing up iPhone photos to NAS

Hi all,

Long time since I had an iPhone and used to use "PhotoSync" to automatically copy the iPhone photos to my NAS.

Looking around now for the best way to do it, and it surprises me that not many talk about this, but is PhotoSync still pretty much the best option still?

I use foldersync pro on my android which is absolutely perfect for me

What kind of NAS? I have a Synology and they have their own app, all my photos are on my NAS as well as in iCloud.

Synology and Qnap have their own apps which work quite well. Otherwise Photosync should also be fine.

Do they not have their own app?

Another one is Resilio Sync aka BitTorrent Sync (can use a docker on Unraid); supposedly Owlfiles will do similar.
All much alike though, although i've yet to come across anything as featureful as Foldersync on iOS.

Thanks, glad to hear I'm still going along the right lines
