Folder Sync : File Syncing

Won't sync to SD Card from OSX 10.5 and Android 6.0 (File I/O Error) also causes runaway CPU on Macbook. Time consuming set-up too bad...

My samsung S4 mini (GT I9195) received a big android update a couple of days ago. I now noticed I can't sync my folders using Cheetahsync anymore. I/O error? What happened?

Finally an app that WORKS! No errors, no tech setup, nice features. Its a little slow but if its resyncing daily it doesnt matter. Very underrated (S7 Edge 7.0/macOS)

Tried others that failed. Cheetah Sync block warnings come up on PC allowing me to unblock. Syncs never fail. Magic app

So because I installed a new SD card now I can't select the new folders. Says incorrect directory when granting access. Reinstalled and now it won't work without a password which it won't save. Stupid.

works great as a file sync with many options. few things that i would like to see improved is: 1. Option to Sync to mapped network drive in my PC. Currently i got NAS and i wish to sync with my NAS. 2. Copy/Paste/Duplicate jobs. I have several PCs in my environment and i had to create one by one. Wish there was easier way to copy paste the sync jobs rather than create new. 3. Save settings to cloud. Changing phone requires me to reinstall and re-setup the whole sync job again. Currently im using titanium backup restore if changed to new phone, but would be great if this app supports backup /restore function.

Would like to see a setting for sync only when on wifi, also it keeps syncing ALL files from phone and deletes ALL destinations and restarts each time. ***UPDATE*** GARBAGE APP, one of the worst apps ever, after adding a second sync job, i found out that it defaults to "computer to android" folder, so now all my photos I had previously synced are now in a second folder on my android, will now have to spend hours going though and deleting them and fixing my phone. What a waste of time and energy, DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP *****UPDATE 2***** Stopped working and connecting to computer. Noticed an update and no notification. REMOVED

Everything is ok but it give some I/O error when I sync files directly to external storage in MI 1S miui 8.2.1.0 running KitKat, get this problem cleared soon...

Great app - have used it for a few years and I just want to give kudos for developing a great app that is allows me to do what I want with my phone which is one of the main reasons why I prefer Android over other phone OSes. Thanks!

Maybe this app changed names recently and forgot to update the ui, maybe its just bad design but as soon as I opened it, up top it just says Cheetah Sinc and i tried to exit, thinking it was an ad. On recent apps, it shows as Cheetah Sinc, not "folder sinc : file sinc". That is in no way what I agreed to download. Aside from that, just from a user's perspective, other apps dont make me download a program onto my home computer. Uninstalled.

On first try, corrupted a lot of my word document files on LG G4 to Windows 10. I had to go through hell to recover most of them. I'm deleting this app right away. So angered!

This app cannot handle large batch transfers. I tried to sync my music folder with my laptop from two different Android devices and got sync errors . If you want to sync a large folder like your music folder, this app is not up to the job. Customer service sucks also. I sent a question to the developer many days ago and I got no response.

Nice app, 2 changes should be made though: 1)take avantage of LAN speeds instead of internet connection speeds 2) save/import profiles!

It seems very temperamental. And maybe abandoned? I tried emailing with a question but I don't think I ever got a reply, unless it got shunted to the spam folder for some reason. but yeah the BIGGEST problem is the poor speed. I don't know if it's just a limitation of the software somewhere but even if my phone is in the same room as my router sitting five feet away from it, the max speed I see is maybe 500 KB/s give or take 150, mostly take. I only bring it up because occasionally, an app will randomly be able to pull my full internet bandwidth (1.6 MB/s) so the fact that I can't get at least that with a LOCAL network operation is very distressing and irritating. It also seems to crap out a lot. I have lots of files I sync (namely my music, 500 files) and randomly it'll just stop syncing after a while. I also have another folder with 2000 html files (ranging in size from 1 KB to 200 KB) and syncing will randomly stop (and not even go that fast). Mind you, the music and HTML files are sitting on a solid state drive so I don't know why the deep file compare and transfer would be so slow. I like the UI though. Wish there was more flexibility with the sync interval.

Every time i started sync it erased entire data nd started from starting

Ran an automated backup and it worked at the time scheduled plus it reads SD cards on Marshmallow. Only issue I don't like is that I need to create a new task for every folder I want to back up. Meaning if there are 10 folders in an Android directory and I only want to backup 4, I have to create 4 separate tasks. Folder multiselect within a single task would make it much better!

It doesn't sync properly. I have two-way sync and sync deletes enabled yet when I delete files on my computer and then sync my phone just uploads the files again. So, while it works fine as a one way sync it does not work for me as it should. I am running an S4 with 5.0.1 rooted.

Get "sync failed" or "I/O Error" anytime I try to sync, forcing repeated restarts. When it does decide it will deign to actually do what it is made for, it doesn't work correctly, for example creating duplicates of files rather than registering that they have already transferred, copying files regardless of exclusions, showing files as already copied when not and not copied when copied, incorrectly deleting files on both ends, etc. Completely useless, and the producers are even refusing to provide any support. Most positive reviews are for years-old versions.

This may be one of the most underrated apps in the whole Google Play store. I hate to connect my phone to the computer to sync files, and this little app does everything for me now. I use it now in a one way sync to move files and photos from my phone into my computer. It works just fine.

As samsung link does not run on my S7 edge, I found this app mentioned; tested it, after configuring what to sync: I am relieved; my data will be backed up automaticly now.

UPDATE: my lg g3 was on my guest network which i restrict access. Testing now. Can transfer, but cant put on SD card directory. WHY? Now i have to find music app to see both memories. ORIGINAL: Does not work. Tried everything in the book as an engineer. I am sure it is a simple setting, but THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR PC CONNECTION. NONE! I am ticked. I have seen better instructions on a parking ticket. Really. Am i just missing it? There should be pages of different configs. Sad.

So because I installed a new SD card now I can't select the new folders. Says incorrect directory when granting access. Reinstalled and now it won't work without a password which it won't save. Stupid.

Great app. I feel this app is better than any app which used to send files between PC to Mobile. And it just works like a Drop box (drag and drop) without using Internet Data. It would be great this app also has a feature of transferring files to another mobile.

The feature to allow writing onto SD card doesn't work and the tech support doesn't follow up on help requests. There are some great features, but without the needed SD card access it isn't much use!!!

Great app. Just two issues. 1) The Windows app should run as a service, not a tray item. Not everyone has a personal non-shared computer they are always logged into. If the computer reboots for any reason (Microsoft update or user initiated) and your kids login but not you, syncing no longer runs. 2) Whole device sync fails with IO errors. Since I only care about my pictures & videos I only sync the DCIM directory and the IO errors go away. Not an issue for me, but may help others. Perhaps there are files/folders that confuse the software?

It has been so long that this simple bug has not been fixed. Better use SyncMe.

will not accept any password I input. They are all invalid no matter how formatted. useless.

Maybe this app changed names recently and forgot to update the ui, maybe its just bad design but as soon as I opened it, up top it just says Cheetah Sinc and i tried to exit, thinking it was an ad. On recent apps, it shows as Cheetah Sinc, not "folder sinc : file sinc". That is in no way what I agreed to download. Aside from that, just from a user's perspective, other apps dont make me download a program onto my home computer. Uninstalled.

I use an old version on an old phone. It offers simple functionality, comprehensive if not clear settings and it works. I use it to sync the app data for apps that do background recording of video but don't sync with computers on the wifi network.

Disconnected and stopped at the sync over 5 times, wasted my entire day on this application

Great job, good idea. now we can sync from PC to Android, Android to PC and both side, just i want to add one more thing Sync from Phone to Phone like from Internal memory to SD Card and SD to Internal. please improve the UI design Logo also very poor please improve, Thanks

My samsung S4 mini (GT I9195) received a big android update a couple of days ago. I now noticed I can't sync my folders using Cheetahsync anymore. I/O error? What happened?

Very useful app. Makes me not having to do the annoying tasks of uploading and deleting files from my android phone. I can simply download the podcasts I want to listen onto my PC and it this app synchronizes it to my phone. Simple to install too. Thanks for this!

Avoid! "Deep File Compare", which this app has recently made compulsory, slows down syncs enormously, and seems to break them (by slowing them down so much that they "fail").

I really wanted this to work, after my disappointment with Synchronize Ultimate and the limitations of the DropSync (free ver). It tried in vain to Sync my files to Dropbox, but it failed 95 times out of 100. FolderSync by Tacit Dynamics works and does what all of the above can't.

Deep file compare CANNOT be turned off, and while enabled makes the sync take over 6 hours. I'm just transferring videos and music, I don't need a hash check on them! Uninstall.

Worked for a few days, then started promoting to change password and doesn't let you. Another worthless android app.

Very well developed app. Really useful if you want to set up automatic backups from/to your android/pc. I use it to backup my pics and videos to my home computer every night and it works flawlessly. Have been using for a couple of months. I wish it could connect directly to SMB servers without the pc interface.

Great app. I feel this app is better than any app which used to send files between PC to Mobile. And it just works like a Drop box (drag and drop) without using Internet Data. It would be great this app also has a feature of transferring files to another mobile.

although I would prefer an app works with standard FTP etc. rather than needing to install a dedicate application on my PC.
