About this app

Sync is a personal file sync app with built-in file manager and web server. With Sync, you can sync, backup, and restore your files to/from local drives and several cloud storage drives like Amazon S3, Dropbox, Box , OneDrive, and Google Drive.

Note:

1. Drives
A drive is either a local storage unit or a cloud storage service where your files and data are stored.

Sync supports the following drives:
- Private Drive: In-app storage drive
- Local Drive: Internal drive
- External Drive: Removable, USB drives
- Amazon S3
- Dropbox
- Box

2. Source:
A source is a local storage unit that supplies files for upload to other drives and also receives files downloaded from them.

Sync supports the following sources:
- Private Drive: In-app storage drive
- Local Drive: Internal drive
- External Drive: USB drives

3. Task:
File transfers are organised into tasks. Each task consists of one or more sources and a target drive, allowing you to run sync, backup, or restore operations. You can create multiple tasks, and each task can include multiple sources.

4. File Transfer Operations
A task can perform the following operations:
- Full Sync: Compares and synchronises files between two locations. Deleted files in one location are removed from the other, while new files are copied across.
- Backup: Uploads files from local storage to a cloud storage drive.
- Restore: Downloads files from a cloud storage drive to a local drive.
- Backup Sync: Uploads only changed files from sources to the destination drive.
- Restore Sync: Downloads only changed files from a drive to the target sources.

5. File Manager
Sync includes a built-in file manager that lets you browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files and folders on your drives.

6. Web Server
Share local files and folders over Wi-Fi. Features include selectable files and folders, folder listing, automatic serving of index.html, custom document root, partial content support, and auto-start on launch.

Ratings and reviews

I generally agree with the other reviews that you need to be able to try this without paying. I didn't get off the starting blocks with this app as it asked for payment to add a local drive on my phone, and that's just setting up the origin folder without even adding the destination. That's a pity as I won't be trying this out and it looked like it had the features i might be looking for.

Looks like an interesting program but you have to pay $4 just to see if it does what you want. At this point, you have so much of it behind a paywall, I can't tell if it does what I need. My advice would be to have the program allow you to set up a local sync and tell you what it would do, but no actually do it without the payment.

Backup copies EVERYTHING, overwriting existing backup. Copying files is s-l-o-w. File dates and times are not preserved, all files are set to current date and time in both source and destination. Copying via default file explorer/manager is faster.
