4 Stars because it worked flawlessly the last time i used it, but now i am on a new installation and i think it can't sync with my old installation's settings and endlessly puts "failed to sync, retrying in 15 sec", can't remember my old password but since it only behaves like this with this exact password i'm assuming it's the right one.
