Description Sam 2024-11-08 15:05:30 UTC
Since free Google Photos storage went away, I've not found a good option to automatically back up pics and video (syncthing has announced the Android app is being discontinued).

IIRC KDE Connect uses SSHFS to share files. Something like an rsync without delete would be excellent (so no files are deleted from the computer if they're removed from the phone when space is cleared). Not sure if this would be best handled on the phone, or the connected computer side, but I see I can "Browse device" and look at my DCIM folder from Dolphin (comes up as /run/user/1000/gibberish/DCIM/), so I'd guess check for a connection and mount this and it could just rsync from the computer side when it first connects each time and check back occasionally?
