automatic photo backup from android smartphone

dropbox for instance has an android app which automatically backs up photos as they are taken on my smartphone. I am thinking of setting up my own personal nas system with cloud access.   does netgear have a similar app for smartphones that will do the same  -  ie - back up my photos to my nas system as they are taken?

Owncloud plugin for readynas, combined with owncloud app for iOS or android.

Owncloud have amongst other function, a “dropbox” function. Combined with the app, it automatically backup your photos from phone to owcloud server on the Readynas.

You can also use it like a regular dropbox for document.

I think ReadyCloud has this feature. Try setting up ReadyCloud on your NAS then install ReadyCloud app on your phone.

many thanks for the reponses.

 

yes  -  I have been reading a lot more about readyNAS over past couple of days, and it looks like readycloud may have the facility.  it didnt seem to when I first had a quick look.   I will soon be going ahead and getting my system, so will then play around with a couple of things to see what can be done.

Well, try Coolmuster Android Assistant, we can use it to move almost everything from android phone to computer, and we can also use it to manage apps, contacts on computer, have a try!
