So I found a solution in a broken iPad mini I haven't recycled yet:


I put the iPad into Guided Access mode and have it on Mrs T's account. This is the Synology Photos app and the special mode that just does a "rapid" download and upload to the NAS. It goes through all of them to ensure everything is backed up to the NAS.

I did build a VM and it is currently downloading everything "locally" too, but then I have to manually export and import. While Synology Photos might be smart enough to prevent those duplicates, it might not and I don't want to deal with that if I can help it. Since this busted iPad can do this on ignore now, I'm golden.

The real perk of Guided Access is when the app crashes it just reloads and continues uploading! Also, no ghost taps which this particular iPad is prone to for some odd reason.
