    Hello NASguru,

     

    So it appears to be a browser's Adobe flash version compatibility. I am not sure if there will be an update on ReadyNAS Photos II, I may need to check with developers.

     

    Thanks for trying other web browser and figuring out what could cause it.

     

    Regards,

I appreciate it Jenn. So I did a little digging and it turns out that Google/Chrome and Apple/Safari intend to drop support for Adobe Flash. The Photos II app is based on Adobe flash which what I suspect may be the issue with the mobile Chrome version. That said, Safari on my friends iPhone was still able to open the link just fine. So will the Photos II app be updated to support HTML5 as that's what Google and Apple are preferring moving forward for mobile computing. On a side note, I was able to upload 1300+ photos to one album. It took forever though and I should have broken it up into 2 albums.

Thanks!

    Correct, that would be great to know if the developers have any plans to refresh Photos II.  Otherwise, what alternatives are there?  I saw there are add-ons to the new NAS for SQL and using packages such as Piwigo or Koken.  The only downfall there is you must setup the backend which doesn't appear too difficult.  https://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9
