Ratings and reviews

The app is great when it works. It consistently closes. There are no updates available so that's not the issue. The sync is also inconsistent. Some things are backed up and synced from my phone , but not everything, resulting loss of photos and files when I clear files from my phone. When the sync is working, it takes several hours and in most cases days for files to sync from my phone and appear on my computer. Overall, the app is fine if it works, but most often it doesn't.

It came with my computer and stored items/had access to items when I never gave it permission to, and I never set the app up or touched it at all. I actively avoided setting it up due to one of my friends having issues with it. It also made some of my games give me errors. I spent way too much time with the issues this app gave me despite never setting it up in the first place. Honestly, it felt like an invasion of privacy and a whole lot of time wasted. Microsoft's customer support is terrible.

A 5*would be given only issue is how it saves my stuff. I don't like that when trying to get extra space, I move things to one drive, just for it to still effect memory. Also when u delete it from my phone, I would prefer an option or something so it doesn't delete everywhere. This is why I moved it to 1Drive. Not to lose it any if I erase from phone. hope to see an update soon.

You can now display your media files on a Chromecast receiver or TV from a compatible device. Look for a Cast icon showing in the top toolbar. We hope you enjoy this top-requested feature!
