Description by MetaCtrl (from Google Play)
This app is an automatic file sync and backup tool. It lets you automatically synchronize files and folders with Dropbox cloud storage and with your other devices. It is an ideal tool for photo sync, document and file backup, automatic file transfer, automatic file sharing between devices,...

New files in your cloud account are automatically downloaded onto your device. New files in your device are uploaded. If you delete a file on one side, it will be deleted on the other side. It works across multiple devices (your phone and your tablet). If their folders are synced with the same cloud account, they will be kept in sync with each other.

This is how Dropbox works on computers but not on Android. Two-way automatic synchronization should be an essential function of the official app. For whatever reason, it is not the case. Dropsync is here to fill the gap.

All file transfers and communications between user devices and cloud storage servers are securely encrypted and do not go through our servers. No outsiders will be able to decrypt, see or modify any file contents.

MAIN FEATURES

• Full two-way automatic synchronization of files and folders
• Many sync modes. Not only two-way, you can also choose Upload only, Upload then delete, Download only, Download mirror,...
• Very efficient, consumes almost no battery
• Easy to set up. Once set up files will be kept in sync without any effort from users
• Works reliably under ever changing network conditions on your phone
• Monitors battery level, WiFi/3G/4G/LTE connectivity and adapts its behavior according to user preferences
• Configurable autosync interval: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, every hour,...

Comments on Dropsync: Autosync for Dropbox for Android

★★★★★ Peer Gynt · Oct 5, 2025
Effortless Syncing, Rock-Solid Reliability Drop sync is hands-down the best solution I've found for keeping my device and Dropbox perfectly in sync. The setup is intuitive, the customization options are powerful, and it just works, quietly and reliably in the background. If you're serious about keeping your files in sync without manual uploads or downloads, Drop sync is a must-have. Worth every star!
★★★★★ Larry Kuck · Apr 23, 2024
I can't write to the root of my SD card on Android 13. My workaround is to create a Drop sync folder on the card and in Dropbox. This paired set of folders is auto-synced both ways. -- On the phone I copy file or folder and paste to the Drop sync folder. It gets synced to the cloud. On the PC, I move it out of the Drop sync folder. It's gone from the phone's Drop sync folder after another sync. -- Reverse the process from the PC to the phone. It's automatic.
★☆☆☆☆ DropkickConley · Jul 29, 2024
It does its job well, but Full screen ads earn one star. Banner ads are fine.
★☆☆☆☆ Majid Feyzi · Jul 30, 2024
Who else are you! You made a non-professional and non-specialized second-rate app and locked all its parts except for one thing. How many places do you want to get money from? Shame on you, Dad. You thought people wouldn't understand
★☆☆☆☆ Max Allan · Mar 9, 2026
Only one folder for free, use folder sync instead.
★★☆☆☆ Adrian Kalla (adrianer) · Jul 18, 2024
Claims all the time, that the battery settings are wrong and preventing background functions - even though "Allow background usage" is on for this app... UPDATE: None of the options described in the in-app instructions exist on my Android 14 (LineageOS 21) device, so no way to disable something that does not exist.
