Ratings and reviews

Mostly helpful, but some core features are unreliable. When you delete a photo on Android, it gets renamed as a dot file (.trashed[xyz...]). Unfortunately this app doesn't discern between dot files and normal files, so they get uploaded anyway. I have to log into my instance to delete all the photos that were already deleted on my phone. The other main issue is file sync to device doesn't really seem to work. You mark files for offline access, but it only downloads a few then gives up.

The author needs to address several issues. If I delete a folder in the app, not only is this deleted in the online saved files, they are also deleted from the local file system, resulting in a 100% loss. Just because I don't want them synced online doesn't mean I don't want them! I consider this a major error and will discontinue use. Don't delete anything unless you don't want it anymore anywhere. Pathetic implementation and user abusive.

Moving around in folders and files is awful. Once you open a file after navigating down a path and you back out of the file viewed you end up in root folder and any filter what you have done is gone. As a file handler it's not even close to anything good. I want it to be good but there are some basic functions that are still not there and just interface is lacking
