Ratings and reviews

Your app needs to learn to stop being so hard on itself. I get notifications all the time that it failed to sync, but after it successfully synced everything. I'm not kidding, over and over I always get notifications saying sync failed, but everything syncs! It needs to learn to like itself and accept that it's very good at what it does. I fully understand low self esteem and being self critical, but honestly, this app works, and very very well. I just feel it doesn't give itself enough credit.

I love it. It does everything I needed to do syncing folders from my phone to my PC, individually, on a schedule, with options like verifying that I'm on Wi-Fi and charging. The only negative was that I spent quite a while trying to figure out how to make it work because it wouldn't out of the box. I figured out that you have to enable SMB version 1 on the PC. Which Microsoft just disabled because it's very very old and has some vulnerabilities. I hope they update it to handle SMB v3 soon.

Terrific so far. Been looking for an app that can auto download files that I put in a specific folder into my onedrive, this worked perfectly. Love the pro version for the very quick syncing! Thanks devs, the options are plentiful and the app is much better than other options. Great tool. edit: small thing, when you gave a lot of sync folders it gets tedious trying to edit them when the app doesn't remember window position. basically you have the scroll down a million times when editing.
