If the PP app is left on in the background, it will upload media files as they are added to Camera Roll. I also have a second backup procedure with a real virtual cloud called Pogoplug Cloud. I also LIKE the fact that the My Cloud does not upload until I want it to, i.e. I have no issues using My Cloud app to backup my Camera Roll other than the files in the Camera Roll always start showing the oldest files instead of the latest files (just as the actual Camera Roll does). With My Cloud, it is a physical drive unit on your network you can access from within and outside of your network, but that is where the similarity with virtual clouds ends – it is based on a physical NAS in your home and not “in the clouds” per se… The My Cloud device is not a “true” Cloud like online-only virtual clouds such as Dropbox, Pogoplug, etc. Best practice is only have the app on when using it.

This is good, because leaving the My Cloud app (or any app that uploads) running in background just uses up battery needlessly.

It only looks for and uploads if and when the app is fired up from being completely closed. (If in doubt of having enough time, I just reset to Never for the duration of the upload.)Īlso, it appears the My Cloud app does not continue to look for new files to upload when it is running. So, as you read, auto lock of iOS device needs to be set to Never if one has a lot of photos/videos to back up initially, Subsequent backups do not usually require a Never setting (Auto lock on my devices is usually set to 3 minutes after my initial backup with My Cloud if I only have a few new files each time.

IMPORTANT: for very large uploads (such as with a very full iOS Camera Roll,) the iPhone/iPad’s Auto-Lock control needs to be set at a high value (meaning, set it to Never,) … So, this post is intended to help prevent the following BIG problem from happening before you begin, or let you know why you had the problem, so you can prevent it from happening again.
