In my opinion old pictures should not be uploading automatically at connecting a new phone "but" there should be a message box where you can choose if you want to upload also the old pictures or not. That would be a nice feature.

Just for funsies - reinstalled the app on my phone and such dialog doesn't exist - would be really great if such dialog existed or at least and option to run the settings in the automatic dialog part of the app to force an upload

Hi folks, this feature is part of the auto upload road map #285
So closing this as a duplicate
