App summary

Please note: This is a trial version. When the trial period expires, you will be requested to purchase to continue using the app.

Autosync is an automatic file sync and backup tool. You choose which folder in your device should be synced with which folder in your cloud storage account, and how. Autosync will then keep files in these two folders in sync with each other, automatically and without any additional efforts from the user.

The official cloud storage apps don't have automatic sync capabilities, or only to a very limited extent. The commonly offered automatic photo upload might suffice for simple photo backup but not for keeping photos on multiple devices synchronized. If you want automatic file sync between your device and your cloud storage, you need this app.

Autosync can be configured to do automatic file sharing between your devices, to back up selected folders in your phone to your cloud storage, or to make backup copies of important document folders in your cloud storage and save them in your device for offline use. These are a few examples of what you can accomplish with automatic file sync.

All file transfers and communication between user devices and cloud storage servers are securely encrypted and do not go through our servers. Outsiders, including us, will not be able to decrypt and hence see or modify any file contents.

Supported storage services and protocols:

• Google Drive
• OneDrive
• SharePoint Online
• Dropbox

-----
This "Autosync Universal" app supports multiple cloud storage services in a single app. Users who use only one cloud storage may prefer one of our single-cloud "Autosync for ..." apps. They are smaller, have fewer features but are simpler and easier to use than this all-in-one app.

Wish I had tried this first; it's trialware, but gives you full access to the app's capabilities and doesn't have the terrible ad placement of similar apps. I needed this primarily because Onedrive's protocol isn't supported by some apps I need to sync, and Onedrive itself doesn't provide what this does even though it looks like it should. It works pretty much flawlessly. I love having the option to change/add protocols later if I need to, and the automation API might just come in handy.

Works really well but I wish premium was a bit cheaper. Considering it seems to work well during the trial I would be willing to pay the $16 but that only unlocks a single cloud storage provider. To sync all the folders I was during my trial would cost $48 which is just too much. The subscription cost of $7 per month is also way too much (maybe up to $1 per month would be ok). I will try foldersync as that premium version seems to include all cloud storage providers.

This is better then the native Google drive sync. I hate Google photos because it's so hard to select and manage batches of photos. Then it takes up a ton of space. Uninstall Google photos then create a photo/video folder in my drive. Then u can create multiple folder sync pairs. I have the locations of all my cameras & social media apps linked to my drive media folder, use instant upload and disable scheduled sync. Now my entire drive is backed up on my phone SD card. Love this app!!!
