Mobile device will not start a backup until I open the app. It's not "automatic" if I have to bug it to do it's job. Let it run ALL NIGHT on wifi and it uploads about 5 files. At this rateb it would take a year to back up the device. Since it's doing NOTHING, I'm deleting it.

What use is a backup app that won't work in the background? In order to run a backup the app has to be in the foreground with the screen on, or else it pauses all transfers. And yes, all appropriate permissions have been granted. It's basically useless as an automated backup because of this.

Generally very easy to setup and use. Fast backup of files. However, for large video files it gets stuck in an endless loop. I have a handful of very large files that it backs up and then tries to back then up again. They are failing causing it to never finish. I have to manually override every time to skip these files, otherwise it will never finish a backup.
