## Review summary

Many reviews praise the app for being easy to use and generally reliable for some users, especially for syncing photos/videos. However, the most frequent complaints are serious: login failures after updates, cross-device sync issues, and OS/permissions problems (notably Android 15) that block uploads. Users also report slow performance, crashes, and buggy UI, plus limited folder selection. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong praise from loyal users where it works, but widespread reliability and usability issues hinder broader trust.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive interface
- Long-term users report consistent satisfaction
- Keeps photos and videos synced across devices
- Overall positive reception from several users (reliable and easy)
- Good service quality according to multiple reviews

### Cons

- Login issues: login button disabled or login failures after updates
- Sync problems: files across devices fail to sync/update or become inaccessible
- Android 15 compatibility and Storage Access Framework permission issues prevent uploads
- Performance and stability problems: slow, crashes, and buggy UI
- Limited folder selection and UI gaps (e.g., only the camera/photo folder; workflow/workflow limitations)
