Review summary
Pros
- Easy cross-device sharing via a fast, responsive web UI
- Fast transfer speeds and a feature-rich server experience
- Good developer support and timely fixes for Android 15 changes
- Versatile for local file access and sharing (e.g., with readers like Kobo)
Cons
- Stability issues: frequent connection drops and need to re-login; interruptions during large transfers
- Background usage problems: app often won\'t run in background unless battery saver is disabled; free version limitations
- Batch download via ZIP is problematic: ZIP can delete files and users want non-zip batch downloads
- Upload limitations and broad directory access: cannot upload folders, only single files; app may require access to all directories rather than a specific one
- Limited mobile network accessibility: not easily usable over 4G/5G; wifi or hotspot is typically required

| 2025-12-31 | Easiest way to share files across devices. The web UI works beautifully and files transfer relatively quickly. It gets bogged down on large external media though (~1tb), and https can be a bit flaky, but it's not a deal breaker. Samsung S25. | ||
