I've never had any issues with the old setup oddly enough, they talk like it barely functions lol

The app can be basically unresponsive (my experience) as it's checking to make sure everything is synced. It's gotten much better over the last few months and the beta experience was wonderful it just broke (app side) a few times and told me an asset wasn't uploaded even though it was.

I had issues uploading big files to it due to it stopping uploading once app is minimized. As long as app is open on screen, it would upload files with no interruption. New version seems to fix this issue for me.

Interesting, background sync was completely broken on the new beta timeline for me. I had to open the app, and disable then reenable sync every time I had new photos.

I'm back on the old version because it's basically 100% reliable.

Me too, and the new one I didn't even realize this change happened. I saw there were no breaking changes, updated, and saw "oh, it isn't synced anymore" so I reselected the folders, it ran a sync check on everything, which took a while, and everything works fine again.

I didn't even realize there was a difference until now, but I guess there is a start/stop sync switch.
