Ratings and reviews

There's a lot to like here with some limitations. This great to browse and download files from your kDrive. But it's limited with editing files and offline sync. I have a big folder full of plain text files I use as notes. While I can store them for offline use, I'd have to select that option for every single file. You can't select a folder for offline. Also, I saw no way to edit a simple text file so the changes sync to kDrive.

I really like that the app is based on NextCloud but it has some issues. When I try to turn on the automatic upload it's says I have to turn off Battery optimization. I turned off everything, I tried every way. But as searched for the forums I realized that this was a NextCloud bug back in the days. Once you guys fix this, I would be more than happy to be a costumer.

Hard to understand how an app can be this buggy, especially given the review score. I wish you the best so you can improve it. EDIT: upgraded rating because of recent bug fixes and also the background backup has been reliable all the time despite the UI bugs. UI still needs a bit of work, but in the current state this app is quite decent.
