I'm a very computer savy guy, have worked in IT, helped many people and innovated solutions like few others can claim, and I couldn't get FolderSync to work right. The basics are broken. I thought maybe the Pro version would enable the basic features I needed, but no. Just a big waste of time. I asked for a refund, but time will tell if I get my $5.99 back.

Great app overall. It seems to get confused with the case of folders though. For example I have two folders that are identical other than the case of one of the letters (don't ask me why, suffice it to say that it isn't something I can fix) and the app seems to only recognize one of them. It's as though it thinks they are the same folder so it skips one of them after syncing the other. Other than that, it works great :)

This app seems to do exactly what I need it to with one unfortunate exception: It does not appear to offer a method to login at startup on Android as it does on Desktop. So, while I'm rating this app a 4 for its great feature set, it's absolutely unusable in my use case as my wife wants something that she doesn't have to think about. Other sync apps offer this ability so I would recommend to the developer that they add this feature to solidify end-to-end ease of use.
