About this app

This app is an automatic file sync and backup tool. It lets you automatically synchronize files and folders with Dropbox cloud storage and with your other devices. It is an ideal tool for photo sync, document and file backup, automatic file transfer, automatic file sharing between devices,...

New files in your cloud account are automatically downloaded onto your device. New files in your device are uploaded. If you delete a file on one side, it will be deleted on the other side. It works across multiple devices (your phone and your tablet). If their folders are synced with the same cloud account, they will be kept in sync with each other.

This is how Dropbox works on computers but not on Android. Two-way automatic synchronization should be an essential function of the official app. For whatever reason, it is not the case. Dropsync is here to fill the gap.

All file transfers and communications between user devices and cloud storage servers are securely encrypted and do not go through our servers. No outsiders will be able to decrypt, see or modify any file contents.

Does exactly what it says! Auto-syncing my entire SD card to a Dropbox folder. The free version allows files up to 10 Mb to be synced, but I bought the Ultimate version within 5 minutes - for two reasons (1) because I want to backup all of my files, regardless of size (2) I wish to support an app and initiative such as Dropsync! Only criticism: It appears the app only syncs one file at a time, which doesn't utilize the upload speed. I want to see the app upload smaller files simultaneously.

App works very well. Unless I've missed it I can't seem to set a specific time to sync. I want to sync once a day so I select 24 hour sync interval. But the app will then just sync 24 hours after the last time you synced, which could be at any time of day depending on when you last manually synced. What I'd like is to sync every day at 2 am, so the data upload happens when I am not using my wifi.

Poor tutorial(none at all).... Keeps giving me an error when trying to sync-you were logged out of your storage account- except I am logged in and there is no indication on what it means or how to fix it.... Figured it out... Had to go into accounts and individually,manually sync drop box account. The sync all option didn't seem to work.
