Hi, so sorry for the delayed reply, was out of country. To answer: - Yes, all photos I save from the internet, apps, etc, get saved to Camera Roll. I do not believe there is any other way for this to work / no way to change that behavior in iOS. - I do not use PhotoStream - Not sure what exactly you mean about "does the amount of files increase accordingly in backup"?? Here's what I plan to do to help troubleshoot, tell me if the steps are correct: - Turn ON debug logging on my media server where I have my BTSync photos go to - Open the BTSync iOS app, let it sync/backup - Check my photo folder on my media server, see if it still is behaving the same way. Let me know.... Also, I already have deleted & reinstalled the app on my iPhone and disabled and re-enabled sync/backup.

I have the latest versions of the iOS & Windows apps. I have a NAS / media server I custom built for myself with Win7 Pro x64 and multiple independent drives - no RAID; nothing too fancy. I have my NAS set to backup many different ways, but I do use BTSync to backup its contents (about 3TB of stuff; movies, photos, mp3s, etc) to another dedicated PC on my LAN. As far as I can see, BT Sync works fine between the two computers. I recently tried to setup Bittorrent Sync to backup my iPhone 5 camera roll - approx. 30GB of photos (yes, really) in around 6,500 files, according to what the BT Sync iOS app tells me. The whole point of this is I'd like to use BTSync to backup my photos to my media server & then delete them from my phone to clear space on it. What happens is that it just doesn't backup ALL photos; and the problem seems limited primarily to more recent pics. For example: - If I save 6 photos from the internet, then open the BTSync app & let it backup, it will backup photos 1 and 3, but none of the other 6. - If I take 4 photos in a row, it will backup one, but not the other three. I've already rebooted my iPhone & NAS countless times and have deleted and reinstalled the iOS app. Both the iOS & Windows apps report the sync/backup as complete, yet it is clearly not. What else should I try? Do I just have too many photos & videos on my iPhone for BTSync to handle? Thank you!

Just to post a clarification: I thought you meant the app had to be open & running at all times in order for it to function - this isn't the case. You do have to open the app for it to backup, but it will continue to backup, as long as you leave it open & running in the background. I guess what is meant is that this is not an automatic backup; meaning if you do not open the app, it won't automatically backup your photos. That's fine, but I'm glad to see that it does run in the background and still work......

Thank you - is that the default behavior for the BTSync iOS photo backup? I'm aware the app needs to remain open for backup.... Thank you for the help.

I'd like to use BTSync to backup the photos on my iPhone I can't find a clear answer to my one question: If I sync photos to a PC via BTSync and then delete them from my iPhone, do the pictures remain on the PC? Can I get the BTSync iOS app to do this? Thanks
