Review summary

Users praise STACK's desktop integration, open-source foundation, and basic fast functionality. However, multiple reviews cite frequent issues with file uploads and Instant Upload rarely working. Users also complain about missing features like selective folder sync, confusing UI, and lack of feedback for upload failures. Despite problems, the service itself is recommended by some long-term users. Overall, the app needs significant improvements in stability, usability, and feature completeness to meet users' expectations.

Pros

Easy to use and works fast when it functions properly
Based on open-source principles and contributes back to the community
Good desktop OS integration and serves as a Google Drive alternative
Includes features like auto sync for photos and videos, and sharing links for uploads by friends
Long-term users recommend the service despite app shortcomings

Cons

Uploading files often fails or hangs, with little to no feedback or error messages
Lack of selective folder synchronization and inability to sync specific folders from the smartphone
User interface issues including unclear visibility, buggy multi-file selection, and confusing file locations after download
Instant Upload feature rarely works reliably, causing frustration
App lacks important features like offline viewing of directories and improved upload/download controls

2024-10-23	ホー*****	Quite useless. I only want to sync certain folders from my smartphone to a folder on STACK. I can't figure out how to do this BASIC action. Bummer....

2024-10-05	Da*****	It is really easy and works fast. It would be really good to have an option to view / search to see what files are available off line.

2024-09-03	ma*****	Uploading files (only thing I really want to use this app for) rarely works and doesn't give feedback why it's not working (just doesn't do anything). Uploads screen isn't very useful; doesn't show all selected uploads of a batch, instead files appear one-by-one as they start uploading. Disabling battery optimisation (often sugggested solution) did not help for me. App feels very carelessly produced. Update (1.5 years later): all of the above still applies

2024-03-24	Ba*****	Selecting multiple files is buggy, and it's unclear where downloaded files appear in my system after downloading. I want to be able to browse my files from another app instead of having to open them from the stack app.

2023-10-25	co*****	Please update the server version of ownvloud to atleast version 10 I pay enough to you for a bit of support and up to date software? Also the stack app needs an update for Android 14! It is really broken at the moment. No auto upload can't put files offline or online and the interface is going crazy!

2023-09-21	La*****	It's a great minimalist app that works exactly as advertised. I would love to mark a directory as available offline instead of just single files, then it would get 5+ stars.

2023-08-15	Fe*****	By independent European company, based on open-source and contributing back. Has auto sync photos and videos. Can share links where friends upload. Has good desktop OS integration. Google Drive competitor with only minor UX hit that gets you independent from the American monoliths.
