Conflicting settings between accounts
I have two user accounts. One for work, one personal. Personal has sync turned on, the other does not. Changing login from personal to work is fine but when changing back, from work to personal, the sync remains OFF. So, switching accounts, the mobile app inherits the OFF setting, if the previous account had it OFF, but does not inherit the ON setting if the previous account had it on.

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.It’s even simpler than that: It does not inherit anything and fully resets the backup setting every time you log in.
By design?
as far as I know, yes. You might not want to upload anything to a new account you just logged into.
Understood. Thank you
The first login into a new makes sense to default to it being off but subsequent logins into the same account should be remembered, imho.
It's definitely an argument. Immich right now does not support multiple accounts well (or rather, at all).
I run two instances myself and just use the browser when I need to access the other one. If you don't need backup on the second server, installing it as a web app might be an option. Works well enough for me at least.
