The only self hosted service currently not trying to be many things at once. It is a cloud service and its almost excellent at it. Yeah it's doesn't have the add-ons and looks of next cloud or Pydio but they're are painfully slow, most of their android clients didn't work and I have had enough of apps trying to be many things and end up failing at their major functions. Keep working on fine tuning this.

Crashes every time I try to open a folder that contains files. Seafile works great elsewhere, but this makes the app 100% useless.

Works fine with last update. Thanks for reacting so fast

It crashed when trying to view any file. Running Android 7.1.1

Fantastic way to sync files

It's working but it's not possible to sync automatically documents or what ever you want. Only pictures and videos. New update: sync the contacts doesn't work on Android 7/note 4 resurrection remix.

Works but needs work Cannot limit down/upload, cannot prevent it from trying (and failing to) upload two huge files at once, cannot sync local folders(!!!!), fails to upload large files if the Internet is too slow (even if it does upload, it cancels after a few minutes and retries forever, killing the connection for others), and the photo uploader sometimes uploads duplicates. That said it works and doesn't crash often, really digging the camera upload feature, and browsing through your uploaded photos in the app works well.

Fault in the app uses crazy amounts of data trying to upload files. When I download a file to my phone (Nexus 6p), the app keeps trying to re-upload that file back to the server. It fails, and then tries again. This happens over and over until I delete the file from my phone. I had to disable background data over cellular connections for this app to not use up expensive cellular data. Over wifi, I've had it use 30+ GB trying to upload a 5MB file all day. Thank God it didn't do this on a cellular connection. Other than that, it works great.

Dont worry about the bad reviews, they're mostly from people trying to do what Google Photos already does. Anyway... I recently switched from Dropbox to a private NextCloud server which was painfully slow so I set up a Seafile server instead and it's far faster and has much better file history! Sure, Seafile isnt as pretty as Dropbox or NextCloud but it works much, much better.

Works well, but it's only a netdrive client rather than a sync tool. Files have to be added/downloaded manually, no auto-sync function. Downloaded files are just "cache", meaning you have to save it elsewhere or they'll be removed when you clear cache (in settings).

Works well. Sadly there's no two way sync. I experience heavy battery draining since I'm running Android 7.1.1. It sometimes showes up to 15% usage in the Android Battery stats. I haven't had this on Android 6.x

Well, I can browse my files. Upload files? No. Backup photos? No.

Why can it not sync entire local files That makes this app very limited in functionality. Please make this a priority function to add. I have been following this application for awhile and on a github thread you stated in version 1.5/1.6 we would get entire folder syncing on the Android client.

Libraries are empty I'm using seafile on a private server and it was working wonderfully. But from last few days the android client is not able to list my files. It connects to server and show the libraries but when you open the libraries they are shown empty. I'm currently using samsung note 4, please solve this problem. Thanks

Love the app, recent versions crash when attempting camera folder upload. Checked the git repo and it appears this has been fixed. Any ETA on when a new version will be deployed on google play?

Pretty good Make photo backups clear. They happen in the background but without any notification so I have no idea what us going on. A photo backups status would be nice.

Good client For Seafile.

Camera upload works Installed it. Configured the upload with the damn nice wizard. Had to open some ports on my server and now it works well. I've had some problems with uploads failing when the phone is going to sleep, but they resume just fine.

Works well but can be further improved I'd like to see folder sync for all folder types not just photos. I'd also like the option to both mirror (like iCloud) and one way write (perpetual backup).

Probably a good app, but It won't synchronise my photos (failed). The app crashes when it tries to display a folder that contains a file (folders that contains folders are fine)

too many bugs crashes all the time. it crashed when I was syncing 200 files, and after that I had to manually select all of them again. Also, it tried uploading recently downloaded files back to the server.

thanks well done.

Not for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 ed I love Seafile. Much better than Owncloud, It works great on my Note 5 phone, but it doesn't even want to start in my tablet. It crashesv before it can even start. UPDATE: vs 2.1.4 doesn't want to work. In downloaded 2.1.3 and is all good

Crashes on open, now

Best open source dropbox Want a clean fast and secure dropbox? This is the app for you.

Kiss the big players goodbye Very reliable sync platform with 2 features putting them ahead of the herd: github like ignore file and sync individual folders (called libraries) instead of one main / root folder. Did I mention that the pricing is better than the competitions? As for the app, I have zero complaints. Two thumbs up!

The application runs fine at uploading my files to my server in the background. Whenever I try to open the app to browse my library it crashes after a few seconds making the app unusable. The only thing keeping it from one star is that it is at least still syncing my directories in the background.

Poor performance Compared to owncloud, seafile sounds very promising. However the android app is buggy and previewing images takes a long time. Also no grid view (for gallery) is available. I think owncloud solved those user experience aspects much better.

Cannot upload Cannot upload files. Get the message "No network connection"

Unusable, since it doesn't show where the files are located See title

Awesome self-hosted cloud storage platform

Fantastic! Free cross platform private cloud storage that actually works!

Great sync server. Terrible app. While seafile produces an excellent free cloud-share server, and has a Windows desktop client that works well, the Android app crashes with such a high frequency that it's basically unusable. The lack of a feature to keep a whole folder in sync is also a problem, while the camera sync would be a good feature if the app didn't crash literally every time you try to browse through a folder.

Battery Drain! Give picture uploads an option to only sync when on charger. Its murdering my battery.

Great service With the recent update the app works smooth and nicely. Great job!

Great experience Works amazingly. Short reply time. Recommendations.

Amazing Does everything you could ever want and more. I probably won't use the group feature too much on my private server, but it if still there if I do.

Excellent

Usefull , fast and stable It's great, I setup my server in a Linux and I've a supercloud with my own limits. The starred tool is great for quick access. The best cloud tool I've ever used so far and really I have used a lot of them.

well, the new version just crashes whenever opening a library, the previous version was fine
