Keep Autosync, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Autosync you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox among them.
What this rests on. Autosync’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Autosync?
Autosync, by MetaCtrl, is an Android app that keeps folders on a phone or tablet in sync with cloud storage and network drives. You pick which device folder pairs with which cloud folder and how files move. The Universal app covers many services; single-cloud apps from the same maker serve one service each.
Worth knowing
- Android only; the maker lists no iOS, Windows or Mac version.
- Licenses are tied to one Google account and are not shared across Google Family libraries.
- A purchase in one MetaCtrl app does not transfer to another, including the single-cloud apps.
- The trial length and the price of each in-app item are not shown on the vendor's pages.
Key features
- Many storage services in one app
- Autosync Universal connects to Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Dropbox, Box, MEGA, Nextcloud, ownCloud and pCloud, among others.
- Protocol support
- WebDAV, FTP, SFTP and LAN/SMB network drives are supported, so storage without its own integration can still be reached.
- Chosen folder pairs
- You decide which device folder syncs with which cloud folder, and in which direction files move.
- Direct transfers
- The vendor says files go straight between the device and the cloud service and do not pass through its own servers.
- Automation
- The maker publishes an automation guide for triggering syncs from other Android automation apps.
- Single-cloud apps
- Separate apps cover one service each, such as OneSync for OneDrive and Dropsync for Dropbox, with fewer features.
