I use this app to sync my Calibre epub library to my tablet. It works beautifully. I sync a few other items as well. The interface can be a little confusing at times. But the app is very powerful and I am not sure if there is an easier way to display everything. I only use manual sync at this time but I can think of reasons why I would need and want scheduled and instant syncs which this app can do as well.

Absolutely brilliant app. It saves a lot of work. / I had to give up my old file manager since it didn't allow me to include sub-folders and at the same time choose "skip" for duplicate files. Most file managers will not allow for "merge all folders but do not overwrite files". Foldersynch does.

28/06/2017 update has made a 2 minute sync now take 20. Not what I would call a bug fix to be honest. EDIT: Appears devs have noticed something too and have rolled back to previous version - nice quick response there. 5 stars

Mahesh Abnave

I bought the full version. Occasionally it gives errors, but they go away. In most cases unlink and relink account to resolve error. Will still love to have error free app. But this app has no alternative.

No hidden charges, great functionality, and well designed. Only observation is it seems to stop on permission errors instead of move on to next folder. Edit: no longer syncs just states sync in progress and 0kbs

A few things - the author has acknowledged issues with being able to provide timely or thorough updates or support, and I want to be respectful of their time. The good: this app is a beast - it is incredibly flexible and configurable. It lets the user connect with many different cloud storage services (except iCloud) and sync different folders one-way or two-way with those servers. I use it to sync several folders to different cloud backups, and this is awesome. Almost everything can be customized. It seems fairly reliable but not 100%, although there is an option to auto-retry, and you can configure it to notify you on failure (or success, or both, etc). The bad - there seems to be an ongoing issue connecting with Google Drive (my connections to OneDrive, Dropbox, and Amazon Drive are all fine). This is a significant issue, it looks like the author rolled back an update to address this, but it still seems to be an issue, and none of the recommended fixes address it. I hope that gets fixed. Otherwise this is an incredible app for the price, and a must have especially for devices that are in the grey area as laptop replacements (I use it on my Lenovo Yoga Book).

FolderSync is a "Must Have" App if you are serious about backing up your files! I have over 16GBs of Service Manuals, Operating Guides, Schematics and Procedures Manuals. I use FolderSync to make multiple backups to my local NAS and Cloud Storage accounts. Have used FS since version 2.7 and it has worked flawlessly. I use on my Galaxy Tab S2 and Tab S3. But, beware of updates, as you will have to relink to your Cloud Accounts.

Nato Casilen July 14, 2017

To rate 5-stars is understatement and won't give justice to this wonderful app. FolderSync deserves a 6-stars, it exceeds the maximum, worthy of a rating higher than the superlatives. I will write Google to allow in Play Store the 6-stars rating which is exclusively assignable to no other app except FolderSync, Honorim Perpetua.

Stephen Wilkes July 16, 2017

Bit tricky to set up at first but once 1 sync is configured it can be copied and edited to create others easily. Also allows sync jobs to be backed up. A*

H S July 14, 2017

Just what I needed. Made my life 200 times easier. Wish it works on the Chromebook as well... too bad.

Mr Constantine Updates July 8, 2017

Using this to transfer 5mb,Using a file Explorer, same network 20mb,something seriously wrong with the way this connects.

June 29, 2017

Not at all to the standard for a pro app. switching between versions daily in playstore?!!! think before you pay. they wont reply for your emails after payment.

July 7, 2017

Best backup app I have tried so far. Very easy to use, also with Samba shares on Linux. Thank you.

Jerry Tseng July 1, 2017

Strange? Used to work, but after updated, it stops working.

Angus Maiden July 25, 2017

The missing link for users of multiple cloud services like me. Expands on the default options available for sharing in the standalone cloud apps, and allows for automation and other cool features.

Michael D July 2, 2017

stopped working two days ago (onedrive illegal state exception)

Keith Gorlen July 23, 2017

Unreliable -- bogus "network unavailable" failures, instant sync not working.

Attila Mészely July 5, 2017

It does not work at all. It is not able to connect to my shares. I tried on ftp, smb and sftp.

Jon Gerdes July 14, 2017

Absolutely belting. I use it with owncloud and nextcloud and it just works. This app has been getting our holiday photos safely back home for years.

Big Bill July 18, 2017

Works better, not tied to specific cloud storage, almost universally replacing the other programs, even those that I stupidly paid $10 each for.

robert p July 25, 2017

Brilliant app for syncing nas and smartphone. Can deal with thousands of files without a problem. Pro version well worth the money!

Cipi Dragoe July 21, 2017

sync with Dropbox does not work

Robert Tufeanu July 5, 2017

Dupa update nu mai poți crea widget-uri de sincronizare personalizate 1x1.

Frants Grubor July 9, 2017

Great App. Syncing with my own Cloud now very easy. <3

Jesse Robinson July 1, 2017

Don't ever lose you data.

Gabriel Gracia July 20, 2017

Philip Laycock July 2, 2017

Shubhendu Pal July 17, 2017

Best of its category

Graham Rimmington July 20, 2017

Well worth the investment

Luis Velez July 16, 2017

Simple and works

Matthias Aselwimmer June 29, 2017

Sync is slow? I am connected with a 5ghz network and when i copy a file with my filemanager to my server it copies with 4-5mbyte/s When i use Folder Sync the maximum speed is only 500kbits

Petr Černocký June 28, 2017

First update in a long time that does not force me to input my login credentials again. Yay.

A Google User June 28, 2017

Excellent. Works well on my HTC Desire HD/Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and my own FTP server.

Vic Lovan June 24, 2017

Just a little bit more explanation for some of the functions would be nice. I don't really understand the reasoning for the temp rename feature. It would be nice to see something like a volume shadow copy if that is possible. And I would like the options for multiple copies and a rename feature instead of just skip or delete or replace. This is an excellent app and I recommended it for everyone. Edit: Just gave you a shout out on TWiT's The New Screen Savers! 2017.06.24
