Comments on PhotoSync – Transfer Photos for Android

★★★★★ Brian Mays · Mar 14, 2026

I back up photos and videos to my Samba share when at home. Works great, have not had any issues. Well worth the $5 for the bundle version especially if it helps me save a Google One subscription for my photos.

★★★★★ 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

★☆☆☆☆ 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...

★☆☆☆☆ 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
