Ratings and reviews

Thanks for all the work! The app looks and works great. As a suggestion, I would really appreciate it if you could add a possibility to: 1) Download files from the Starred tab and 2) Choose a local folder for sync (server to client) or let choose the download destination. Currently, the downloaded photos don't get discovered by default Gallery app and the download folder is not accessible by some default file managers.

Seafile itself is a great delta-sync application. But like other reviewers there's a missed opportunity here. They could do 2-way synchronization of files (like AutoSync, SyncThing, or FolderSync Pro do) but instead they limit the auto-upload feature to 1-way and for photos only. I've ended up using Syncthing in combination with Seafile to sync my android device with my other devices. But feels incomplete to have to use a separate app for what this app should have.

The biggest waste of potential in cloud computing. Seafile is fast... That's it. It is the most streamlined, reliable service for the task of downloading and sharing files but it does literally nothing else. You can't even search for files, you can't even sync files automatically unless they're taken by a camera. The most basic functionality of free adware programs here on the play store trumps Seafile at full throttle and at that level I'd just suggest grabbing Syncthing. Disappointing.
