Can you set the function so that the pictures are actually uploaded automatically. Not only after entering the password.
I have deactivated the automatic lock even when the screen is deactivated.
Kind regards
Hey and welcome to the Cryptomator Community ,
It is planned but not yet fully designed or implemented, there are still a few questions we need to answer for ourselves about how the feature will look, but it will definitely come. See this GitHub issue for more information:

## Description
If the Automatic photo upload is enabled, all photos taken wi… ll be marked for upload and after the specified vault gets unlocked again, the upload starts. It would be a good enhancement to upload the image directly (instantly) when the target vault for the auto photo upload is already unlocked.
It will probably mean that in the future you will have to specify in the settings when to upload (directly, x minutes after a new image is taken, ...). If the upload takes place immediately after creating/storing images, it can happen that images that you actually wanted to delete locally will end up in the cloud. For example if you have photographed a tree 15 times you might not want to persist all 15 images.
Therefore I first delete the pictures locally and then start the upload. Such scenarios have to be considered for the automatic upload and have to be configurable via settings.

Thank you for the welcome
I can understand the thought processes. Here you could give the user the option with an additional selection in the settings: upload after opening the vault or upload directly.
First I thought a third option is necessary: delay the upload (upload x minutes after the image was taken).
But it is much less complex to implement just those two options and perhaps that is already sufficient for most of the users .

I also think these two options are more than sufficient. Thank you for the feedback, I have used Cryptomator with enthusiasm and will therefore donate from time to time to support such improvements.
