Mostly Unusable

I don’t want to say this app is worthless, well maybe I do. The idea behind the app is good but the execution is horrible let me explain. I have Owncloud app on my iOS devices as well as my Mac. If I make a change to a file in Owncloud on the Mac it may or my not sync depending on what MOOD Owncloud is in at the time, in fact it NEVER syncs. Uploading file from iOS devices of have the same results. If I got to my server and deplete file and clear out cached data to app still shows the files and if I try to delete them for iOS it says files locked or “unable to sync loading cached data”. There is no way to clear cached data in the app, I usually wind up deleting and reinstalling the app. Sometimes that works sometimes not. I’m sorry I paid for a years subscription even though it was only $2. If you’re considering a personal cloud use NextCloud they have none of these issues and the app is free. Next time I’ll believe the reviews.
So far so good

12/13/2020 I noticed a lot of 3 stars. I don’t think this app deserves 3 at all. I have 4 for now and I will update this post later. I am transitioning from Mega Upload to my self-hosting Cloud. The only issue I notice so far was when uploading a 250MB file from my phone to the cloud. It keeps stating “Pending” and didn’t complete the upload and I don’t have a way to stop or cancel. So far, I did the same from my computer to the cloud and worked just fine. Hopefully it can get fix soon if it is a issue reported.
Broken integration with files

Can no longer open owncloud files in any other app. Completely breaks usability with many things.
Works OK

Auto upload of photos never works until I specifically open the app and watch the backlog of uploads go through
BIG PROBLEM!

For everyone that is reading this. Please do not try to have a conflict on files. This app based on my testing has no idea how to handle conflicts. So it will enter this weird state which it keep try to upload the new version, but the server keep rejecting it, and there is no way for you to stop or cancel the uploading process, so you will go into this infinite upload mode. Reboot doesn’t help.
Amazing!

If you want to manage you own cloud storage these guys are great! Setup of ownCloud on my Debian box was a breeze and have mobile apps and desktop apps of great quality is amazing. Thank you!
Auto Upload Not Working

I enabled Auto Upload for Photos and Videos but is not working. I bought $2 subscription option as well but Auto Upload is not working. I tried reinstalling the app but Auto Upload is not working. Such a let down by Owncloud.
Pretty good synchronization when not background

Not sure that any synchronization happens (“insant upload?”) until we actively open the app and check on status. Wish list items: > Show size of files on status screen > Show real progress (like 3MB of 12MB uploaded) on status > Allow “hold (until released)” “defer (move to end)” (or maybe a 1-9 [default 5] priority value) on status screen - get important stuff synced first > Make status list items selectable so that clicking on an item will show the picture/video, et cetera. (Would be useful in other views too) > Show thumbnail view on status (and other) screens > Periodic notification that files are not synchronizing > Automatic retrieson some schedule or at some interval
