Guest Network with access to Photos App

I have a "weird" scenario that I'm wondering if it will work.

We have an iPad that only has access to the guest network so that it stays isolated from the rest of the network. BUT...with the new Photos App in DSM7, I would like to allow it to upload photos to the Synology which is on the main network....and isolated from the iPad.

Is there a way to only allow the photos app access from the iPad while still keeping the rest of the surfing etc isolated?

Thank you in advance.

I do something similar to allow my guests access to the printer/scanner on my main network but deny everything else:

If you want to use more Apple-like features on the iPad that use things like mDNS / Bonjour across VLANs then you will need to have suitable rules to cover that too:
