Ratings and reviews

Good enough interface but have encountered several instances when the system froze and I was unable to backup any files at all even after reformatting my entire account. The issue seems to have resolved itself but will most likely recur again in the future. As of 3/7/2023, my entire timeline has disappeared. Now says "No media files backed up." Tried deleting app. Restoring app. Login back again still no timeline. If I access via website portal same results. To think I'm a paid account

This app is very confusing to me. It never seems to do automatic backups even though I scheduled it. It appeared to be backing up files that were not checked, but not backing up files that are checked. I think you have to sync individual files one at a time, at least that's all I could figure out - that is really inconvenient. And I don't know how to access files backed up or synced from my computer. So I like the computer program, but the android app is a mystery to me.

Fantastic service. The price is decent for the true service you get. Within minutes of downloading something or taking a photo it's syncing itself (if you choose) but it truly does sync properly and across your devices it divides your files accordingly, it doesn't just shove them into one place. It's SUPER organized and truly and properly syncs everything I ask it to and when I ask it to. What more can you want ? You can share and upload and export as you please or restore as you please. 10/10.
