What’s New

Version 4.8.2

- New: For services with mulitple configurations (e.g. SMB, FTP, S3) the order of the configurations can now be changed
- New: When uploading to S3 & Wasabi PhotoSync now sets the "X-Amz-Meta-Mtime" header to the recording date of the photo & video. This header can also be interpreted by many 3rd party applications.
When enabling the new option "Query Recording date" PhotoSync will use this information to enable sorting by recording date when browsing photos & videos on S3 & Wasabi. Note: Enabling this option may slow down performance as it requires an additional query for each photo/video.
- New: When uploading to Backblaze, PhotoSync now sets the "X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis" to the recording date of the photo & videos. This information is now also used when browsing Backblaze in PhotoSync, allowing sorting by recording date.
- Fixed: Issues with encrypted video uploads to S3, Wasabi and Backblaze. We recommend re-uploading these videos to an encrypted S3, Wasabi or Backblaze destination.
- Fixed: Wrong extension for XMP sidecar files, when "Keep original names" was enabled in "Expert Settings"
- Fixed: Videos were not recorded for more than 12 seconds in some cases when using the PhotoSync camera
- Fixed: PhotoSync now ignores when a USB or Wi-Fi camera disconnects (or goes to sleep) while a transfer is in progress
- Fixed: Transfers to SMB could result in error 22 in rare cases (e.g. when the target volume is exFAT formatted and mounted with fuse)
- Improved thumbnail loading performance for S3 based services

New in Version 4.8
-------------------
- New: Client-Side Encryption (Premium)
Encrypt photos & videos before transfer and store them encrypted on NAS and file-based cloud services. Browse and view encrypted photos & videos directly in PhotoSync.
Rclone and OpenSSL are supported, enabling easy workflow integration and seamless decryption on PC and Mac.
- New: Improved metadata support
Embedding metadata is now supported without re-encoding for most file types. PhotoSync can now also embed modified recording dates and tag photos / videos based on user album name, Moments / location name or media type.
- New: XMP support
XMP sidecar files containing all metadata information can now be transferred. This feature is optimal for integration into professional workflows. Configurable options: XMP files are always transferred; only for photos with edited metadata; only for RAW files with edited metadata; or never.
- New: "Display" option to detect modified / edited photos & videos as new: If you edit a photo or video after it has been transferred, PhotoSync will detect the photos / videos as new and the edited version will be re-transferred. This setting can be enabled under "Display Options" (iOS 16 and later).
- New: PhotoSync can now retain the whole album / folder structure when transferring between iOS devices. To enable this feature enable "Keep Album Structure (iOS only)" under Configure->Phone/Tablet. Preserving the favorite status and location info is supported when transferring between iOS devices.
- New: The PhotoSync Camera can now embed copyright info
- New: Added an option "Set transfer time/date only once" for sub-directory creation. This way only one sub-directory is created for every transfer session.
- New: Added a new custom format %SP for custom sub-directory creation based on media type (Live Photo, Screenshots...)
- New: Added new custom formats %MOT and %MOL to add the Moments title and Moments location into the file name or sub-directory name
- New: Added an option "Assign Live Photo MOV to photo folder" for sub-directory creation. When enabling this option both files of a Live Photo are stored in the photos folder, when the %2P or %3P format is used.
- New: Added option "Upload in Chunks" for WebDAV connections. This option is helpful e.g. for WebDAV servers proxied by CloudFare
- New: Added host key checks for SFTP connection
- New: Added an option to convert ProRes Videos to H264 or HEVC

Best sync app for iPhone

This app is the best if you want to sync content from phone for backups or your nas or other media

It’s really worth few $ a year to keep your memories safe.

I use it in addition to iCloud and I think it’s really worth it.

All in on app

Their support is top notch and highly responsive.
Has every option you could think of when it comes to synchronizing and uploading photos,
The photo viewer is very intuitive.

Once you set up the synchronization feature, you don't have to think about it ever again.

I looked far and wide and this is the only app That could fulfill my requirements.

Again, their support is top notch, kind, helpful and responsive,

Highly recommend.
