Ratings and reviews

I still use this every day for work related documents. Syncs up all my documents, mostly PDFs between my Pixel, Samsung tablet and Linux/Windows desktops. Driver server has change history. Does everything I need it to. I wish there was a way around the Android permissions issue as i can't sync my downloads folder on Android 13 but I'm still researching that part. You just have to make sure you're NAS and router are setup properly. Lots of demo videos available online.

Cannot synchronize important folders. The "Download" folder is the only one that I need synchronized and they purposely block it in this app. They could just have a warning dialog saying that choosing to synchronize this folder may expose you to privacy risks... But it really doesn't add any risks beyond any other synchronized folder. They could easily improve this app and remove this limitation... Wish they would.

The UI is a clean look and a nice improvement over previous offerings, but that can't compensate for the lack of core critical features. 1. Cannot select directories for offline use, have to pick file by file. 2. Cannot find Drive files or folders from other apps. (Maybe doesn't integrate Android 10's file picker?) 3. Others have pointed out you cannot synch changes up. These aren't just style preferences, these are the core features needed from any app like this. Without them, you basically have more functionality from sending yourself a shareable link to a drive on your NAS. I have a lot of faith in Synology to do this right and provide a Dropbox killer. Please prioritize these features and make this the app it could be.
