What app do you use to sync images to nextcloud from your phone?
So far I found no tools capable of correctly syncing for me.

if you have your own nextcloud instance, you could install the nextcloud client (iphone, android store). or download the cilent for desktop on the homepage: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/desktop_mobile_sync.html
to sync calendar, contact you can use DAVx
Thank you!
I use/used all of these.
However, with the nextcloud android sync app, I had issues, that it does not upload all files, and it shows it has nothing to upload. Also unfortunately this information cant even be known through the sync app, because it does not have any way to compare local and server side files.
Fortunately the Memories app shows your local images, and shows if they are not uploaded. But it is quite inconvenient to manually upload 1 by 1 the missing images, if the sync app misses something.
So I started to look at alternatives. Also came to my mind to check if I can conribute to the sync app to solve this issue, but did not take the time yet.
With mobile it is difficult. Seems the nextcloud app is THE solution.
There are possibilties, but more complex. You could sync with syncthing. But i never tried this Solution
Sync files from Android to your Nextcloud server using Syncthing.
Files go into the Nextcloud folder, and a quick scan command makes them show up in Nextcloud.
On your Android device:
- Syncthing app (from F-Droid or Play Store)
On your server:
- Syncthing installed and running
- SSH access
- You know the Nextcloud data folder (e.g. /var/www/nextcloud/data/user/files/Syncthing/)
