Reviews for FolderSync Pro

I'm trying to use this app as a replacement to the nextcloud client because file sync in that is flakey. I miss the function to automatically organize one-way uploads into folders by date based on the original time stamp of the file itself, not the time of syncing.

A lot of functions that I will never use (like automation). I just need an app to backup certain phone folders via smb when triggered. It does manage this but I think I have to trigger each folder separately and the progress info is less than useful. For me it is bloated and slow.

Soooo happy to see development is still active! This is by far one of the most useful apps on my phone, and it's even better now! I can easily keep everything backed up to specific locations on my existing cloud storage (I use one drive), and there are amazing settings for really great full control over the process!

Good until Android 13 file permissions add it a nightmare to backup internal SD cards with this. Now it's just a constant battle with "To protect your privacy you can't do this....". The whole point of this was for me to not have to thin about missing backing up files on my phone, not have to manually add every file and hope something isn't missing.

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.

It is flexible but it is inconsistent. And the interface is a bit clunky. Sometimes it syncs things and sometimes not unless I open the app. I am thinking of switching apps. Also the sync log indicted certain pictures were copied when in fact they were not. I used this to sync files with my Synology NAS drive. The sad part is I actually spent money on this.

Fantastic app! I was looking for something that would auto sync my game Saves to google drive without having to use the emulator cloud saver app. It defaults to Dropbox and I dont want to pay the subscription. Google Drive and Google Files had no option to auto sync a folder. I tried researching on it but no luck. It was telling me to download a software on my PC. This app was cheaper than the other one which was $9.99 for JUST google drive but this one has all cloud saves accounts. Very happy!!

Update 2024: Remains one of the very few apps I use almost daily. This rsync wrapper does the job quite nicely and has plenty of options. Update Oct 2015: has become rock solid so upgrading rating to a 5. JUL2015: So far so good. Would be 5 stars except that I've seen a few times when updated files wouldn't sync. Not enough data yet to find trend for this seeming error. However having one button press to sync music, photos, data, whatnot to/from my server is very convenient.

If there wouldn't be a few so major flaws, this app could be a strong number one in it's class. For example, it can't sync photos by its date of taken or real file generation time. It hasn't ability to reorder folderpairs. These two are most important features for me. Moreover, I need to mention about one more unpleasant flaw. Application deletes the original creation date and time of files during the sync. So, it can't copy group of files to another directories by their original creation date.

Update: Not sure when this happened but this app now supports local sync to USB OTG storage devices (e.g., flash drives). Only app that I've have found that does that! Tested on two Samsung devices running Android 11 & 12. You can even sync between a flash drive and an SD card!!! Now I wish there was a way to name folder pairs. I have two folder pairs to sync and they look exactly the same on the list of folder pairs. :-|

I would give 10 stars if I could. Best app for syncing to and from multiple devices and multiple cloud providers. I use it with google drive and one drive. I heavily rely on this app and it has not let me down. Customer service is outstanding. I had a question and surprised to see response the same day and my problem was solved. Small price to pay for all the time it will save you.

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.

I haven't found another app that does what this does better. One thing I'd like to see is the ability to whitelist a single certificate rather than allowing all globally. i.e. When you first try to sync to a host with a self-signed cert, allow the user to accept/trust that specific certificate going forward. Also allow an easy way to view/remove those, of course.

The latest update of the app is fantastic. I no longer have to make sure the app is running in the background to sync or make sure my phone stays on while it syncs. Everything works in the background exactly as it should. I very highly recommend this app to anyone that needs to sync their mobile device to a server (I use the WebDAV protocol). I've already emailed the developer about what a fantastic update this has been. Keep up the great work. I've bought the app and would buy it again.

Great app! Setting up is easy and contains lots of sync options. Definitely worth getting the pro version if you're looking to use multiple online accounts to sync across. It even allows for "offline" local syncing to any device internal storages. My only feature request is to allow modified inclusive folders within the source location to be removed when successfully synced. As it is now, it can only remove modified source files and thus ignores the remnant folders which are now empty.

Exceedingly simple to use. Terrific app! One thing they need to change pronto is an error in "connection" settings for sync'ing a folder. You can tell the software to only sync when the device is connected to a particular Wifi SSID. But it throws an error. If you then disallow that very same SSID, then it syncs just fine. They have programmed the inputs incorrectly for these two fields and they need to be switched.

Update: 3-2023. This app is a must have for anyone who separates their photos and documents in different folders and backs up to a cloud service. I have different folders for photos labeled Home, Work, Friends, etc. I keep the photos in the right folder and this app then syncs them perfectly to the right folder in Google Drive. I can then delete from my phone what I want, but everything is on the Drive. Works great and keeps everything correct.

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.

Works beautifully on incremental syncs and backup (webdav). Initial sync of large chunks of data tend to fail even with a stable Wi-Fi connection but I can't really blame the app without digging into the logs. A few retries were all that were required whenever that happened. The new UI (2020) is very clean and more intuitive. Thanks for your continued commitment to the development of the application.

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.
