Android smartphone sync photos and videos to NAS SMB share

Synchronize your Android device with your local network share, with SMBSync2. The app allows you to synchronize your phone, for example your photos to your local NAS server, without depending on a cloud service.

If you cannot install it from the Play Store you can try to manually install the application:

You won't believe how much this video saved my life. I searched for something like this for months until I found this app and then came across your video.

I highly suggest you change the title of this video to 'Android to NAS Backup' or something similar so it can be found easily.

After filling up my Google Photos storage, I went in search of a better solution than relying on the cloud, this video was extremely helpful and I have a perfect sync to my trunas smb share, its so good i even bought the pro version, thank you so much 😊

I've been on youtube for 15 years. I think this might actually be the first video of its kind that actually worked on the first try. Astonishing.
Tip: if you're connecting to a USB drive plugged into your router, the SMB login is just your router config login and pw. Also, there's some weird bug that prevents the phone from sleeping while the app is running but I don't really care.

I have searched so long for the information you just presented. Thank you.

This is so awesome! Installed it IMMEDIATELY!! I was actually starting to research about how to create an app that can do exactly this!

[kristians]

Wow it works, and the fact I can dig into the code as well since its open source is mind blowing. Kudos to you friend, you've just earned a new subscriber

spot on....how to sync your photos to home server...no non sense video...very good keep it up...

This is awesome. I just got a Pixel 4a but don't want to pay extra for more Google Storage and anyway I would prefer to not upload my photos to google in the first place!

This is what I call useful knowledge, not this junk videos online that show you cookie cut and paste tutorials that a 5 year old can figure out, you would think that smartphone companies would have these type of features built in the phone already...it only makes sense...my Samsung files app allows you to add a network location but the backup features only allows backups to the cloud and sdcard...

Cheers man, that's gotten a lot of space cleared up on my phone. Excellent video

[josueabreu]

Perfect video. Thank you. Now I can get my true nas work with my phone the way I wanted. Good by cloud servers!!!

[CyrX]

Thanks! i was looking into more complex solution when what I need was a simple solution like this one!

[terasinfo]

Yes, this what i'm looking for.. But i wonder how to build the NAS sir? Can we sync with our DIY NAS (using FRENAS software). Thankyou so much for the tutorial

[sashonr]

Great app, great tutorial. Just what I needed. Thank you!

[shiva]

Do the phone and smb server needs to be connected to same wifi network? Or we use mobile data to tranfer...?

[dmahadeo]

Can this app run a job with a manual trigger - only when I run it interactively? I am looking to plan to mirror a folder of text files on my tablet with a particular folder /share on my laptop so it can both be used as back up and for manipulation later on the laptop.

[jpzarka]

Very helpful. I was looking for an app to do just this and you explained it all wonderfully. Vielen Dank!

Just looking at your video, how did you get your cell phone on screen like that?
