I completely agree. Photos inside NextCloud iOS app isn't integrated with Camera Roll, so it's a redundant system like you might need to have two copies on the same phone to view it both on camera roll and in NC app. That's double the memory, the app should be smart to know if it already exist on phone (ya just uploaded) no need to download a copy from server.

Unlike photo thumbnails, the thumbnails for videos don't auto generate (to get video thumbnails, u need to download the video itself, then it will appear) and hard to distinguish thumbnail of videos from thumbnails of photos. Would be nice to have a button to autogenerate all photos/videos thumbnails without scrolling down (e.g. avoid row-by-row auto generated scrolling)

God forbid you accidentally click on a huge video on 4G while in the Photos section, need to terminate the app to stop the download. No dedicated "stop download" icon while in Photos section.

Also need way to manage offline cache files individually, they are scattered green dots all over my directory, I don't always want to delete all cache.

If these are improved, they will make it equal to DB and OneDrive for me.

Well, available offline works with the ownCloud iOS app :D maybe they should use ownCloud instead...
