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.

So far, so good. I only need to sync my android download folder to save pictures of my grandchildren texted to me. The free version works flawlessly. It synced the 400+ images in the folder and the dozen I received in the 3 days that I've been using the app. I'm not sure exactly what triggers a sync. I downloaded 5 images last night and only one automatically synced when I checked a few minutes later. I hit refresh and the remaining ones synced ok. Maybe I didn't wait long enough.

Can't create the initial connection to Dropbox account. A webpage comes up, but it's blank. Same with the autosync app. Is there a problem between the app and galaxy s22? Edit: After a fast response to my issue the app is now working and I give it 5 stars. They suggested I use Chrome, but I was already. The problem was that my security settings were too tight.

It's likely a problem with the browser app and Dropbox website, not exactly with our app. Please install Chrome and use it as the default browser. Chrome should work well.

I've been using the free for several months to keep an Android folder synced up with a Dropbox folder. It's reliable and so useful that I just paid for the full pro version, and plan to sync multiple folders. This makes the task of sharing sets of huge files (like audiobooks) between my phone and computer so much simpler! And it has worked great to keep Obsidian notes in sync on both devices. Highly recommended!
