Ratings and reviews

Generally very easy to setup and use. Fast backup of files. However, for large video files it gets stuck in an endless loop. I have a handful of very large files that it backs up and then tries to back then up again. They are failing causing it to never finish. I have to manually override every time to skip these files, otherwise it will never finish a backup.

Unusable if you want to access anything. I needed storage for videos that I need to reference regularly but it takes over 5 minutes to load and the streams very choppy. Can't stop, start, or replay without waiting forever. Waste of $ your app stinks. On browser it can work but the app lags. What's the point of all this $

This would be an amazing product if it was fully functional. With the app, it will not allow you to access the cloud drive only the backup files which defeats half of my purpose. I have also found that some files/folders that I have uploaded from my computer will "spin" but never open. I'm sure glad that I didn't delete them from my computer. Unless these things are fixed I will not continue my subscription. ETA: I checked for updated per the developers and it was up to date. Still cannot access
