About FolderSync

FolderSync keeps folders on a device in step with remote storage. It started as an Android app that syncs local folders with cloud storage and network targets such as SMB and SFTP shares, and now also has desktop versions for Windows, macOS and Linux.

More than 20 cloud providers are supported, so it suits people who want files on a phone backed up or mirrored to storage they already use. The Android app is free, while the desktop edition comes with a 14-day trial.
