## Review summary

Users appreciate Autosync for Box for its automatic and reliable folder syncing, offline data accessibility, extensive sync options, and responsive developer. However, common issues include network errors disrupting sync, a 50-character file name limit causing failures, slow initial scanning, and occasional need to reset sync pairs. Despite these, the app is considered highly useful for managing files across devices and cloud storage.

### Pros

- Supports multiple sync options catering to various user needs.
- Works well offline, keeping data accessible without internet.
- Highly customizable with features like exclude patterns and folder pair setups.
- Developer is responsive and the app is regularly updated.

### Cons

- App struggles with syncing files having names longer than 50 characters, causing sync failures.
- Network errors frequently occur, interrupting the sync process.
- Sometimes the app quits syncing and requires resetting folder pairs to function again.
- The initial scanning process is slow and can take over 20 minutes to process all files.
