Ratings and reviews

I would love to have a desktop version of this app, I have used an old phone as an in between just to have it sync several sources. this app is great if you have many cloud services you need to sync. edit:prev error where I lowered stars. my fault. my next cloud server may be misconfigured with bad web redirection. back to 5 stars with you after trying another ddns port to my home.

Want to love it but it has weird problems. I have a sync setup for every 15 minutes but every time I leave my home wifi network it doesn't run again when I return until I open the app. Also for some reason it decides there are "conflicts" but the log is just a list of files with no explanation of what the conflict is. The FAQ is not helpful and there's no other documentation or help that I can find.

This app is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted tool that would let me backup and/or sync directories on my phone to Google Drive, without also needing something installed on my desktop or a VPS. It performs that perfectly. I was initially concerned with how it would affect battery life, since I had instant sync turned on for all my profiles, but I've not noticed any significant battery drain. Overall, it does exactly what I needed to do. Definitely would recommend.
