To be clear, neither problem was with the app, but in my assumptions of the behavior of my given configuration.

App Store Preview. Screenshots iPhone iPad. Sep 21, Version 4. This is not really an issue though, since the phone will be charging anyway. Also, your screen will eventually time out based on your lock screen preferences, but I have found you can also manually lock the screen while the app is open and it will continue to back up your photos.

I would be greatfull if you can give me your insight on the following issue. The backup to another disk is dealt with manually. Im looking to invest in a self hosted environment or a DAS.
According to various sources the Photos library cannot be read while on the network and over wifi. I'll report back if I run into issues. But currently it is looking good. However, it does not deal with the other issue: drop outs from a network location.
If one occurs while the app is writing to the disk, then you'll have a corrupted library. And yes, there are occasional reports of folks having such set ups for years with no issues. Similarly, people can drive without using a seat belt for years. The unfortunate reality is that you only need one accident to teach you the folly of that Just to update, 3 weeks in and apart from having to re-boot my NAS Drive because TimeMachine had lost the connection no back ups affected I have had no issues so far with the above set up.
I'll report again periodically on this issue. In response to Terence this is not like driving without a seat belt saying it hasn't caused me any problems.
I have everything backed up so if you are correct and the library becomes corrupted because of timing out issues over a network, I am in a position to restore to my last back up. Also partitioning the disk in this way is creating a local disk as far as the Mac is concerned.
However we will see, I will report any issues I encounter along the way if and when they occur, however to all you naysayers I have to say that having had a Photo application that was totally inoperable with my NAS drive to having one where it is working seamlessly is at the moment a blessed relief. Aug 21, AM. I had one instance where for some reason the Application could not read the library but this was solved by restarting the computer.
I also had one further time out on the Time Machine back up, solved by rebooting the WDCloud - without loss of any data or back up history. Sep 25, AM. Apple has documented that a NAS is NOT an appropriate location for the Photos or iPhoto library and many users have experienced problems trying it - you certainly are welcome ot do what ever you choose to do but you are taking a big risk and any future reader needs to know that is is not a safe thing to do.
Sharing photo libraries among multiple users - Apple Support. Be sure to choose a locally mounted drive. You choose to do it so go ahead, just be warned that it is very likely that you will have problems and very possible that by the time your problems show up al of your backups will be corrupted too.
No one here cares what you do - we care that you are given the correct information so that the consequences of your decision are totally on you and that other readers have the correct information so they do not make a bad decision due to lack of correct information. It may not interest you but during my research of this issue I came across many users who faced exactly the same problem who were struggling for a solution.
I have an offline back up in addition to time machine that I manually update once a week, and therefore it is highly unlikely that I will have a corrupted back up should the apocalyptic scenario that you predict happen as I use Photos on a relatively frequent basis. The reason I am giving these updates is because you and a few others suggest this is not an advisable solution, I am giving honest feedback loop as to whether the solution does create the issues threatened.
As stated the user who put me on to this has used it for 3 years without a hitch. Rather than constantly denigrate why not wait to see if you are right. Other readers are capable of making their own judgements. But nothing in what you have posted suggests a reason why it should fail other than stating that putting it on a network share is an issue. What you don't comprehend is that this solution turns part of your NAS into a local drive. Backup photos to network shares, servers and cloud storages.
Very good and simple app to use. Easy to navigate to save my files from other apps. The only issue I have with the app is playing audio file. When you open an audio file to play, the app doubles the time. For example, if the audio is 5 mins, when you open it, the app will present it as 10 mins and when the 5 mins is reached on the play mode, the audio stops and runs the other 5 additional mins with no sound, later before it changes to the next file.
You could imagine what happens a 50mins, 1hr, hrs file; it would double up the time as mins, 2hrs, 3hrs respectively.
It really distorts putting the play on an automatic changing of audio. I would be glad if this could be worked on asap. Plus photobooth support. Supported transfer combinations are basically endless!
