I have just found this app on Google Play. The version on my device is 4.2.56(30).

My first impression - wat a great app. It seems more feature rich than I have seen on any other app. Thank you for a great job.

My device is a OnePlus 3 running Android 8.0.0

I am syncing with my sftp server:

- Manual sync works perfectly.

- Scheduled sync also works perfectly.

- However I cant seem to get 'interval' syncing to work. Has anyone managed to get this to work and can share with me how I can do the same.

Could someone confirm if the app has the following two features and if they do were I can find them:

- After the sync is completed can the notification display how many files uploaded, how many skipped and total files in the remote directory

- Can I select sync over wifi only, so if wifi is not on, the sync process is terminated.

- Can the sync process be triggered when new content is deposited in the source directory?

On battery performance, my experience in the last three days of leaving it running in the background is a consumption of 10%.

Thanks again for what looks to be a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Pete917:
I have solved the battery drain issue. I am using the "Schedule Alarm" feature and then in the "Advanced" tab I selected to shut the app down after the sync process is complete. Now power consumption is negligible.

I would like to sync both on my LAN and via WAN when Im out and about. Is there a way to make a condition so that the LAN sync on starts when the LAN is detected perhaps by pinging the home router?

Great App

Question from a long time user: I'd like to setup Sync Ultimate with my new Synology Disktstation NAS. I was reading that last year some users were having some difficulty with an error, where Sync says that it cannot upload files. I'm using the latest version of the app (4.2.56 (30)) with DSM 6.1.7-15284. The Sync log doesn't seem to indicate that anything is wrong. My minimum SMB protocol is 2, and maximum is 3 (but it shouldn't be using SMB, right?) Any ideas what's going on?
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Same here, trying to set up a profile with "Sylonogy file station" based account for target (no SMB then).

Exact error message is "upload not available"
[Android Apps and Games] SamuraiCrack:
Nonstop file overwriting

Hello [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] and all,

I am facing the same problem that [MENTION=6699468]analyst44[/MENTION] described. (and so [MENTION=2536242]thecrater[/MENTION]).

Each time the app runs, it ignores the configuration settings and overwrites the files on the right side in an specific folder in which are stored photos and videos.

This behavior causes many problems mainly battery draining and use of unnecessary data packets.

•	Items in the Database: 1351

•	Conflicts: I also used the default settings originally, but then tweaked them

•	Current settings are:​

o	Delete files from source after sync is unchecked but even when it is checked the problem occurs.

o	First Time Conflict: Skip File

o	Database Conflict: Skip File

o	Compare: Use Database, Use file size check for comparison and Use file last modified date check for comparison are checked. The last one is unchecked.

o	Difference in Bytes: 20

o	What to Synchronize​

	Synchronize Folders

	Synchronize Files​

•	Sync Location: One way sync from Samsung S7/Android to OneDrive

•	I tried with empty database and with the updated one, with more than 1000 records.​

Also, as described by [MENTION=6699468]analyst44[/MENTION] other profiles with the same configuration are running perfectly. For example, in one of these profiles the noted differences are 1 – the quantity of files (very fewer than the problematic one – about 50 files) and type of files (voice notes).

Both are syncing files from external SD card to OneDrive folders.

I have already tried to reinstall the app with no success.

I’m trying to avoid use another app because I really like this one but this solution seems to be the next one.

Can you please help with this?

Best regards.

Is this app abandoned? There is no update since more than a year now. Are there alternatives out there specially for WebDAV sync? I couldn't find one. Only FolderSync, but that one is abandoned also.
[Android Apps and Games] jult:
Is it? They last tweeted about it in May 2018.

Doesn't hold a candle next to syncthing though, with regards to config. I'm syncing from phone to server, but it's totally unclear if it will sync backwards, or act like a read-only cumulative append sync option.

OK, after having tried this for a few days, I have to give it a negative. It makes my Note 9 run incredibly hot. That's not a good sign. Also, it breaks uploading quite often, and therefore is not a reliable sync up option.

Again, I don't get why we can't have SyncThing, NextCloud, SeaFile to cooperate and create a new and improved version with the best of all 3, both for its server and client versions. syncthing is great, but it's not built for per user instances, nextcloud has lousy android support and syncing is unreliable as hell, seafile, well, too little config, too complex serverside, but very fast syncing.

Maybe we should just go rsync busybox altogether, get that to work for android with a nice GUI and have some server with rsync and forget about the fancy nonsense. In the end, all we need is reliable accessible backups.
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
I haven't used this App for a while but the other alternative "FolderSync" doesnt work anymore since ages with WebDAV and a modern Nginx. Since the development at FolderSync is dead also, i tryed again "Synchronize Ultimate". This app works with Nginx but unfortunately the schedulers do not start at all or very unreliably.

Especially the "Power Efficient Alarm Scheduler" does not start in 90% of the profiles at all (I have 12 of them). For all others, the app seems to have to run at least as a service. Unfortunately the service does not start automatically after a reboot of the phone, although the corresponding option is activated in the settings. An exception for the Android "Battery Saver" is set, so Android does not kill the service. It simply does not start at all. If the app was started once by hand, at least the schedulers are running which are not based on an alarm.
[Android Apps and Games] difto:
I confirm that none of the schedulers work consistently for me. The power efficient alarm scheduler seems to work for some profiles (not all of them) and not more than 2-3 days in a row (all power saving functions are disabled)
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
Yesterday there was a update for this app, but I haven't tested details. My current workaround is it to use the good old Llama App to trigger Synchronize Ultimate. But Tasker should also work. I do like Llama more than Tasker, but the wasn't updated the last year's and some functions do not work properly on Android 8 and above. But it's enough for my needs. However, triggering with such a App and the plug-in from Synchronize Ultimate work in a great way. If i found the time this weekend, i could try to test the triggering from the updated Synchronize Ultimate.
[Android Apps and Games] downloads_bg:
Please add Yandex Disk and Cloud Mail.Ru!

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
Is there some way to temporarily disable sync for a profile, without to remove the trigger?
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
The app seems to be pulled from the Google PaysSore. Could someone please tell me what is going on?

Synchronize Ultimate very slow with SDCARD sync

Hello

I am currently using V4.4.16 of Synchronize Ultimate and would like to report some issues regarding the speed to access or synchronize folders on a SDCARD.

what I have noticed is that accessing a folder on a SDCARD (for example containing only 200 jpg files, path /DCIM/Camera/) takes almost 20s using the "Storage permission" profile, while accessing the same folder (/storage/1A44-5E7F/DCIM/Camera/) through the "Storage" profile is immediate

When syncing the same folder using the "Storage permission" profile is clearly very slow (>10min).

The application is very great but the behaviour is very impacting. I tried in parallel Foldersync app which doesnot present these issue.

Any chance to fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Pilou38
[Android Apps and Games] lpchaim:
Anyone else having issues with large OneDrive folders? It'd seem the app just gives up on parsing at around file 200 or so in alphabetical order for some reason, I know it's not a server-side issue because OneSync works perfectly with the same setup.

Using Free version, is it possible to select Multiple Internal Android folders ( Download /Document/Music / DCIM / Movies ) and sync to Remote SFTP server?

Note these folders contains multiple Subfolders
[Android Apps and Games] april29:
Hello same problem for me, with foldersync no problem
[Android Apps and Games] NastyBrother:
Hello everyone,

I need some help with an idea. Maybe someone could guide me to success.

What I'm aiming for by using auto task:

Archive

- every file of a local folder (not only one file)

- as single encrypted 7z file (not the whole folder as one 7z file)

To

- a WebDAV cloud

Is there a way to realise this with Syncronize Ultimate?

Then I would have a perfect android version of the hilarious CryptSync open source which syncs my files the same way encrypted to the cloud on my windows PC.

The nice result: I do not need any proprietary container files, but have simple 7z files encrypted in the cloud that I can access from any system.
[Android Apps and Games] Sanfe:
When you plan to translate? Another users question this some years ago. We could help. Thanks

Your app is great
[Android Apps and Games] murti52:
[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] Hi .. a question i had i had to clear.. if i buy the unlimited one.. will i be able to add more than 2 remote accounts..? Or i have to buy the second one also which give 2 additional remote to the existing..?? Thanks :)

Edit : Bought the unlimited one and checked.. and incan add more than 2 remote... Thanks for the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Waldkoenig:
Is there no manual or handbook for this? I don't get the difference between "Storage permission" and plain "Storage" and I'd like to know what difference it makes for syncing whether a database is used or not.
[Android Apps and Games] rootuser11:
looks like pretty much dead to me. back in 2013 or so i see a comment asking for a way to set the temp folder in the external drive attached. it is still not possible since when i try to set the temp folder outside of the emulated internal drive, it gives an error. welp.
[Android Apps and Games] Skrappy187:
Qr code generator short cut save/share option.
[Android Apps and Games] aCIDsLAM:
It Isny dead. The last version isnt that old.

External drive works fine. Just type in the path.

/mnt/media_rw
[Android Apps and Games] rootuser11:
are you on android 9? it doesnt work. i only can mount through /storage/ path. in any event, because this app always copies the same file that is being uploaded to the temp folder, i gave up.
[Android Apps and Games] aCIDsLAM:
Yes. I use android 9. With Magisk Module "ExSDCard Access Enabler", which gives me the path under /mnt/ Maybe thats the important difference. It works for me with external sdcard.
[Android Apps and Games] rootuser11:
root is not an option for me.
[Android Apps and Games] aCIDsLAM:
Dont think it requires root. But newer android wont let you access SDCard directly, without the module.
[Android Apps and Games] rootuser11:
Well thats my point when other apps like drivesync and even old foldersync work just fine without root, this app hasnt been updated to properly support ext drive and it also keeps using temp folder thats not necessary. Oh well.
[Android Apps and Games] aCIDsLAM:
Last Update 29.09.2019

May be that foldersync works for you but it doesnt for me. I used it b4 but it still uses smbv1 and has other strange Bugs.

For me the latest vers works fine and it is activly developed

but it may not, without root

But i will give drivesync a try. Never heard about it. Thanks for the hint.
[Android Apps and Games] casper.rilaun:
Could you add the source on Github ?

Make this one OpenSource will help, thanks to users feedback and devs approach/enhancement.

I also don't like to put in a closed source app all my login to my favorite cloud (and these day, most users have sensitive informations in their cloud).

This is not an offense, just an opinion mate. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Waldkoenig:
Can someone please explain exactly what the "Use database" option does?!
[Android Apps and Games] cablop:
Is this the official forum of this app?

I was looking for an explanation in how it works with no luck. What dow it mean to start or stop sync in profiles? Do they mean that sync is actively syncing data and monitoring the folders, both remote and local for whatever change? Or does that mean only one run syncing data?

It is also having issues with Mega. And restarting seems to not to work if the job was already stopped...

It is very hard to try to configure it by just guessing.
[Android Apps and Games] Waldkoenig:
This app does not work. Do not rely on it. No matter what options (database, file hashes, etc.) I use it can't detect file changes between samba shares and local files properly. This is dead!
[Android Apps and Games] aCIDsLAM:
It works fine for me. Also with SMB v2 shares, not like foldersync.
[Android Apps and Games] thecrater:
Hello,

It seems to have stopped working on Android 10 with its terrible "scoped storage" none sense. Is there a fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] rolferikalfheim@gmail.com:
Hi and tnx for niice software.

Forget this post, I find the option :)

I miss one thing ( or have not find out of it ) :)

Is it possible to start Schedule sync by date and time? F.ex. set it up to synck every day/specific date and time ( clock ) ?

Keep on the excelet work :)

[Android Apps and Games] hirndurst:
Hello,

first of all thanks for this powerful app! I've been using FolderSync Pro for years, but now I'm moving because I had more and more problems with it.

So far SU seems to be the only alternative and I'm actually very happy with it, but two things bother me:

1. the synchronization of many files in many subdirectories is much slower than with FolderSync . That's not too bad, but I wonder if there will be improvements in the near future.

2. this point is much more important for me: If there is a database conflict, you can set that the respective file should be skipped, but unfortunately this information (the database conflict) is quickly overlooked in the log file, because unchanged files are also skipped and listed accordingly in the log file. My suggestion: For the important case of a database conflict, a different log category should be used (with appropriate push notification etc.) and/or the possibility should be given that in such a case the synchronization is stopped.

But all in all it is a very good app, which I gladly support!
[Android Apps and Games] kev1807:
I just installed Synchronize Ultimate to my new Galaxy Tab S6 LTE and I got a problem, which is best described using images.

I attempt to use the Seafile-Server of my University and it might be that they somehow blocked 3rd-party apps. But I do not know that for sure.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks in advance and stay healthy :)

[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
Just purchased this app and I went add and setup everything but nothing is syncing. It just finished everytime saying nothing synced.
[Android Apps and Games] an0therus3r:
Noticed this also when i was searching for it.

I'll try to contact developer of it and see what they have to tell.

Any alternative for Synchronize Ultimate ?
[Android Apps and Games] yoyonamono:
The application can NOT simply make a full copy from left to right (Yandex Disk -> Mediafire cloud). On the left, something changes, but on the right, it stays the same. Deleted the file on the left, but on the right - no change. It also constantly uploads files to the destination that have not even changed in the source. Tried all possible modes and settings. Lacks a reference guide for Application Settings due to many options without a proper description.
[Android Apps and Games] murti52:
Folder sync in playstore... have been using it and no issue at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Timoxa:
What was the verdict?

I paid for the app, but it is now gone.

When installing the apk I cant authorise with google as the app is blocked.
[Android Apps and Games] an0therus3r:
I never received a response but eventually i tried finding it using android app "purchased app" and using google.

In google i found a direct link to the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.synchronizeultimate

Opening this on my device allowed me to install it.

/edit:

I just tried it again and still works.

Eventually i switched to other solutions so I won't need this app any longer
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=4433950]FiniteDGk[/MENTION] About the browser issue, it appears that some browsers have that problem. We're looking into implementing a webview for dropbox to solve the issue. Btw, if you have the dropbox app installed the connecting should work fine.

About the continue sync issue, did you use the exit button on the main page? And you did not select a running service and selected stop? Let me know so we can try to solve it.

Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] FiniteDGk:
Once I get home I can try and reaffirm, but attempting to shut down the process (the app) led to the files still pushing through. This was awhile ago, but I'll check again.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=4433950]FiniteDGk[/MENTION] Did you try again? Thanks!

And anyone else using the app? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Still using it everyday. Haven't found any other issues or possible wrong implementations. When will this be pushed to google play? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] Great to hear you still use it everyday! However, before we can release it we need to fix some small bugs. Also, [MENTION=341845]cdkg[/MENTION] mentioned FXP doesn't work (server 2 server) but we need someone who can test it as well, since it works fine in our setup.

But could you elaborate a bit on how you use it? And if you could test start/stop/exclude/include rules (etc) that would be great! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
I will test it. Sounds great.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=3671189]pdppdp[/MENTION] Thanks! And what did you think of it?

Are more people using it? Let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
No one? :)

[MENTION=341845]cdkg[/MENTION] any change you checked my PM for the fxp testing? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Sure! So right now I use the app to backup all of my important external SD card items to my box account. I have an instant sync (listener) setup set so that if i download a file it and place it in one of my backed up folders it will sync it to box. I have unlimited data and the files don't change often so I let it do it over 4G LTE. In the past I had it set to look for WiFi but now i don't bother. I back up my pictures, movies, music, documents etc. Really great app, very powerful and lots of options.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] Thanks for the info! So did you also try the include/exclude rules?

More feedback is welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] kimcuongden1712:
How screen resolution perfect show? i using screen 480x800, its not?
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Tested a bunch of them in as many different ways as I could this morning. Everything seems to work minus one thing, for whatever reason on the main overview page it shows the job as cancelled (red). I take a look at the log and it did exactly what I wanted, skipped the excluded files and synced the rest. Also the date is the beginning of unix time 1969-12-31 06:00:00

I also find it interesting that I can't use both include/exclude rules at the same time. Maybe you would never want to do this but for whatever reason it seems like you can't. Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=3890061]kimcuongden1712[/MENTION] It should work fine on every screen resolution :) But you should just give it a try ;)

[MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] Thanks for the testing! And the problem you mention with the sync job showing an error and wrong time is one of the last bugs we need to fix :)

But for the include/exclude rules, they can't work at the same time. Let's say you use the include rule, that means that files which match the include rule are synced and everything else not. So the exclude rule is not of any use. The same goes vica versa :) If that doesn't make sense, let me know, maybe we're missing something.

And if you have more ideas/bug/or just tested more, let me know. I really appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
No problem Themuzz, the sync rules make sense to me. I tried all of them and managed to get all of them working. Let me know if you guys need anything else tested. The app is working for all my needs so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
We just updated the version to 2.4.10 (view start post):

- It appeared that for large folders the stopping did not work: that's not fixed

- We hopefully fixed the problem where sometimes a sync job time is around 1970

- Lot's of bug fixes

[MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] Could you let me know whether you still have the problem that a finished job shows as red and date 1970? If it still shows, could you give some steps on how to reproduce it? And of course if you want to test some other thing that's always fine :p Thanks!

And if anyone else uses the app let me know! Hopefully this will be the last release before releasing it on Play!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Anyone else using the app? :)
[Android Apps and Games] granduke:
Been using this app for a month or so. Seems handy and works well but the interface is difficult to figure out. I normally give up and use a more intuitive manager, FX Explorer.

I've just installed to my Nexus 7. Maybe with the larger screen I will find it easier to navigate and will learn how to use this app better.

[MENTION=1606266]granduke[/MENTION] Thanks for the feedback. If you have ideas on how we can simplify the interface let me know.

[MENTION=3545435]ravian29[/MENTION] Thanks! Could you let me know how you use the app?

[MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] Great to hear and thanks for checking!

So Synchronize Ultimate is almost ready. We're thinking of releasing a free version which allows for 3 remote accounts and 3 file manager sessions and if users want more they can do an inapp purchase.

Would that be something you would normally go for? ;)

Of course everyone who helped / gave feedback will get a code to unlock everything.
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
In app purchases are fine as long as it's tied to our account so we don't have to buy more each time we flash our phones. Otherwise I'm always a fan of a pro version that unlocks everything. I'd do 3/3 and the option to buy singles for x price AND have an unlocker for someone who wants the full app experience. Either way. Thank you for your work on the app and thank you for giving us three sessions/accounts for free.
