I'm so glad I found this app, it makes automated backups and folder syncing (similar to apps like OneDrive) to a local server so incredibly easy. I think my only complaint is the error messages can be a bit confusing or hard to access/find in the app itself. I had an older phone that didn't like to sync and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. The automated backup/syncing is also not EXACTLY at the time you specify, it can vary some. This isn't a problem in my use case though.

Not as straightforward as I would have liked but that's on me and not the app. I was stuck in a hard place when I could no longer install my paid for (no longer updated) app called SyncMe. It hasn't been available for a long time and I side loaded the last phone update. Well just updated my phone and the Android version wouldnt allow me to side load it so was stuck. This app works and takes care of my file/backup needs. Like stated above it it not as easy as my old app but I figured it out.

I use next cloud but I was having trouble getting the auto uploads to be consistent. Then I had trouble getting the manual syncing to work correctly. This app solved all of those problems. Not only does it enable me to have it automatically sync anytime it detects a new file is in the folder, it runs on a schedule perfectly as well. I honestly don't know if any extra features were provided by getting premium, but I was more than happy to help contribute regardless. Perfect app.

Reliably does exactly what I need it to. Have been using this for a few years and am pleased to see steady improvements in the UI and functionality. Easy to use and set up. I primarily use this to back up files to a server over SSH. I appreciate the support for SSH and have never had an issue backing up files.

Great app overall. It seems to get confused with the case of folders though. For example I have two folders that are identical other than the case of one of the letters (don't ask me why, suffice it to say that it isn't something I can fix) and the app seems to only recognize one of them. It's as though it thinks they are the same folder so it skips one of them after syncing the other. Other than that, it works great :)

Used to be great. Now it takes 40 minutes to 'analyze' files. There is no way to see what's happening, there is no estimate of wait time. That's 40 minutes analyzing before transferring internal to external, no network involved, not a file transfered. And whereas it used to nearly always 'just work', now it fails at least half of all attempts. This used to be a really handy, fast sync. Not anymore. I'll see if I can find an old version that still worked, but this is now trash, IMO.

Wayne Marryshow

Have been a long time user of this app. It does an excellent job of backing up files from my computer to my tablet and tablet to my computer on a schedule. Set it and forget it. After the last upgrade, the application stopped working. I reviewed the help and FAQs on their site, which covered most issues that might be expected, but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I sent an email to support, and within a couple of hours had a response. The developer (Andrers) asked a couple of questions and a copy of the logs. He was able to send me a file to test within a short time that resolved my issues. Outstanding application and support.

Updated, yay! So happy to see this app revived. Dev is very responsive and app is great. There are a few similar apps on the market but are either too complicated to setup or did not meet my needs. Tip, if you are going to upgrade, buy the pro version versus in-app purchase. I get some ads popping up randomly. Edit: latest update seem to have fixed the ad issue.
