★★★★★Koen Szczepanski· Dec 14, 2025
Just works, come home connect to Wi-Fi and backup photos to nas. Perfect solution for me.
★★★★★Dániel Tomek· Jun 15, 2026
For the life of me I can't get the service stay running for more than a day. I manually have to restart it all the time to actually sync my photos... probably and android issue edit: based on dev reply it's an android issue
★★★★★Marinus L· Jul 24, 2025
Great app for syncing pictures and videos to remote locations. I use it to sync almost real-time to my Open Media Vault and GREEN NAS at home. No more need left for Google or Microsoft clouds
★☆☆☆☆Keith Pearce· Jul 6, 2025
Update: I found the free app Folder Sync that actually works to sync my photos to my home nas smb share. The Free version of this app basically does nothing. Whenever you try to do anything in the app it wants you to sign up for a 7-day free trial. Immediate uninstallation. I recommend using Folder Sync instead.
★☆☆☆☆K Deepak Naik· Mar 21, 2026
Really bad experience. Bought the bundle for Dropbox upload in mind. Not able to transfer files from phone to Dropbox at all. Even after linking the Dropbox
★☆☆☆☆Patrick Fletcher-Jones· Aug 8, 2025
Worked for a bit, thought it was brilliant. Paid for all the options and now does not work. Once again poxy software that works for a bit then the joy of Windows. How difficult can it be to transfer photos from your phone to a laptop...
★☆☆☆☆Lisa Groves· Jun 19, 2026
Try to transfer photos to my MacBook and told I have no Internet connection when I know for a fact that I do have a connection!!!! Plus no wire to wire transfer option 😕
