I've been using this app to sync my photos and videos to my personal server for many years and for the most part I've been very, very happy with it. The only issue I've had is that it occasionally decides it's not going to auto-sync when I connect to my home WiFi until I go back into the app and do a manual sync.
Exactly the kind of app I was looking for. Gives me granular control over which folders I want to sync from onedrive and when I want to sync it (schedule or manual). 5 stars all the way! Thank you very much
Very reliable. I don't need to constantly check if it's working, it always does its thing. Very reliable backup app for me.
Great when it works. Folder pairs "break" regularly with app updates. Frustrating since they have to be reset or recreated. Conflicts and Error reporting are of little real use.
This app is priceless. Backs up my all of my files from different machines to my phone and uploads them to the cloud. The deeplinks are a godsend for those who program small automation apps as well. It would be great if there's an option for the app to remember devices by name and not by IP address.
It would be great if we can have the option to toggle "withChuckedEncodingDisable" option for S3 compatible services.
It works but when I set "to remote" and deleted 4 files from local and SyncAll, my remote files do not delete. Please correct the same
I couldn't use it to sync FTP, it has bugs. When a file is modified in the FTP folder, it is not updated in the destination folder. Also, there is no information to correct the "conflicts" and "file transfer failures". Finally there are also bugs in the UI. It is simply not usable. I regret having paid for it.
Scheduled every specific hours to do automatic backup (upload), but notice the automatic does not work at all. Have to do manual backup only. This maybe a bug, hope that the support team to fix this problem asap.
Now you can only see sync progress when you sync all from the home page. You cannot go back to the home page to see progress when you sync individual folder pairs. Please fix !
I found two bad things about this good app (I have the paid version of it): 1- An ugly icon. 2- The lack of a numerical indicator of the progress of the data transfer process (as is already found in competing applications).
The new interface is great. However since the update I cannot do anything at all. Every attempt to synchronise anything to Googledrive terminates with an Error"Error Occurred while syncing java.lang.illegalstateexception expected begin_object but was string at line 2 column 13. So now I am completely stuck with no backup. Update I had to delete every single one of 25 folder pairs in order to delete that GDrive account as well and start again. After that it works.
Won't work with cloudflare proxy when uploading big files, chunked upload would be very nice
This app is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted tool that would let me backup and/or sync directories on my phone to Google Drive, without also needing something installed on my desktop or a VPS. It performs that perfectly. I was initially concerned with how it would affect battery life, since I had instant sync turned on for all my profiles, but I've not noticed any significant battery drain. Overall, it does exactly what I needed to do. Definitely would recommend.
I love it. It does everything I needed to do syncing folders from my phone to my PC, individually, on a schedule, with options like verifying that I'm on Wi-Fi and charging. The only negative was that I spent quite a while trying to figure out how to make it work because it wouldn't out of the box. I figured out that you have to enable SMB version 1 on the PC. Which Microsoft just disabled because it's very very old and has some vulnerabilities. I hope they update it to handle SMB v3 soon.
TRULY POWERFUL APP. This app literally allows you to make regular backups of any folders you choose. It manages it in the background and doesn't consume a great deal of the your devices computational power. It's easy to use and setup. You can make backups of your settings. And it can backup folders on the external sdcard. It also supports two-way ftp transfers which allows you to create a sort of mirror between a local and remote directory. I HIGHLY recommend.
It is flexible but it is inconsistent. And the interface is a bit clunky. Sometimes it syncs things and sometimes not unless I open the app. I am thinking of switching apps. Also the sync log indicted certain pictures were copied when in fact they were not. I used this to sync files with my Synology NAS drive. The sad part is I actually spent money on this.
Works great! w/ one odd behavior Only complaint I have is the Sync seems to take a long time to actually start when my phone is in its dock using Ethernet. It acts like it's not even trying to Sync then after 20-30 seconds it starts syncing. It also queues up every time I hit the Sync All button. So it starts syncing like two or three times in a row.
The best file and folder synchronization tool for one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one use cases available. It has been a reliable tool for keeping personal and business files synchronized & backed up across multiple phones, tablets, home NAS & SFTP, One Drive & Google drive since 2012. The only thing missing is a Windows 7/10, Linux and MacOS version to complete the ecosystem!
Have used and recommended for years. Active and responsive dev, comprehensive and rich feature set, wide and seamless cloud service support, easy to use, and just works. One feature I'd like to see is the option to automatically connect a VPN if not connected to a whitelisted access point at sync time. Otherwise, this is the sync app that ticks all my boxes, and there's no close second.
I purchased this to backup my photos from several devices. Then I came with the great idea of using it to sync folders between devices (images, ringtones, music, etc) But it failed miserably, I deleted a file from the device using the phone's file manager, and it never synced to the cloud; I moved files in the device and expected them to be moved in the same way and I had a folder with the files I moved and the files in the original place. (all by using instant sync) What a mess. I'll stick to backup all my files manually now that I've seen it doesn't work.
Some apps just do the job. No fuss, no muss, just do what they are supposed to do. FolderSync is one of those products with quiet excellence. If I couod improve one thing then I would make error/failure notices much more "in your face" (maybe send email or txt) However, this is really an excellent app and the Pro version is very much worgh the upgrade. If you need to competently back up yoir files, this is for you.
I use the app to backup my pictures, (titanium backup) apps, and even my entire phone to my PC. Mostly it works fine but sadly doesn't seem to work with smb2. As smb1 is insecure I have disabled it on all my systems and most file explorer apps work fine. This has meant I have to run an sftp server on any PC I wish to sync to which is a bit annoying.
This app is still one those 'old reliable'. Been using this ever since I used a Galaxy Note 2. Combined with a file manager that can also act as a file server (WebDAV), it's a really reliable way to sync things across devices. Also been using it to sync with my One Drive and Google Drive accounts with no problems. User interface takes a bit getting used to, though. First timers should set up Accounts first before getting to Folderpairs.
Uploading to Amazon Cloud Drive stopped working around 2 weeks ago. I don't want to run the risk of losing my files if I lose my phone, and I don't want to change my cloud storage provider. So, my only option is to ditch FolderSync for something else. A shame, because I liked the product. Contacted support and submitted logs, without any reply from the team. This seems to be ran by a single person, bear that in mind if you decide to buy it and rely on it.
Amazing and very versatile data syncer. Can't even find anything as versatile as this on Windows. However, please could you implement the following: - An option to terminate a sync that's currently in progress and never run it again until reconfigured? After restoring my sync pairs from an earlier configuration, it appears to now be in an infinite loop, constantly crashing the Media Scanner service on Android and reattempting to sync over and over until I force end the entire app, shouldn't have to clear the entire app data just to fix that 1 sync pair. - Give us a means of setting a specific local directory as an "account". I just upgraded my Note 8's 200GB MicroSD card to a 512GB MicroSD card, and due to the way Android handles external storages with unique IDs, I have to now change each and every directory that was syncing with my old MicroSD to the new one. It would be a great time save to have %EnvironmentalVariable% like shortcuts.
Fantastic sync app, easy to use, sports many destinations, I didn't notice any excessive battery drain, interface looks good. It really improved my productivity with sending scans and notes to my own Cloud automatically. I'm sure I could find many more creative ways to use it The only improvement I wish for is a way to keep 2 copies of a file if it's been modified at both ends (one marked as sync conflict). It would be even better if it handled merging of changes like git
Great app - I can no longer use the MEGA sync feature however so this app is nearly useless to me as I schedule file backups between my phone and my mega account. If I log into my mega account via this app, it tells me i have successfully logged in followed by an immediate overlapping second error saying "cannot retrieve info from your provider, check internet connection or verify your account credentials"
