Ratings and reviews

It has been made impossible to use for just on-demand use. There used to be a set of options for syncing, such as to sync only on app open, but those were inexplicably removed without warning in the last "look and feel" update. And even the Log out button is non-functional/simply does nothing. The only way to prevent background sync that I can find, is to uninstall. Update: Saw reply, great! Was all ready to give an updated review.. except, sync on app open still gone. Uninstalling again, argh.

Nothing to complain. Easy setup, self-explanatory interface, broad set of features and constant updates. I especially like the option of automatic photo upload. This allows me to backup my gallery and save storage on my phone. Nice work!

Unfortunately, this app is virtually unusable. Syncing takes forever (hours, sometimes) just to update the list of files - and this happens every single time the app opens. During that time, it's not possible to upload or download specific files.
