Autosync, by MetaCtrl, is an Android app that keeps folders on a phone or tablet in sync with cloud storage and network drives.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could not: Files kept in step across devices without losing one. - You could not: Storing and serving files for other people. - You could not: A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox among them.
