The app works well and has a lot of customization to allow moving photos and videos to many different devices, and services. The developer has been quick to respond to questions and issues. My only complaints are that the auto sync add on doesn't always, but that's probably partly to do with background task control. The bigger one is while the service will move videos, there is no way to automatically have it put videos in one place and pictures in another. I have to do it as two transfers.

I have had this app for 6 months. I also work in I.T and am very confident in my ability to work and learn in much more complex programs. I have not been able to get this app to work automatically a single time. No matter how I set it up, my computer, nor my home network. I am currently reinstalling the computer side of the application. I'm going to continue to assume I have been missing something and go take another look at the help pages. 3 stars because while the automated part doesn't work it still backs up my data which is the most important.

It's excellent - but with a significant limitation, it works great for smaller folders, but it always times out with a large folder (over wifi), that wouldn't be so bad except that it doesn't actually transfer anything before it times out, so that you can't just restart the transfer and finish up. If it can't handle large transfers, it needs a way to break them up into smaller ones, either automatically or manually.
