Ne fonctionne pas

Je l’ai rechargé 3 fois sans succès

Very handy!

• ★★★★★   Beltranillo 8 years ago ( v 1.3.3 )

I have a NAS where my family and I store all our files for regular use with our home computers and a Macbook that I use all the time in my trips (twice a week). I use the app everytime I get back from a trip in order to sync the files that i have chaged but all also the ones that my family has changed. I like that you can see what has and has not been changed and that you can then choose what to do with each file before syncing. It is very handy and works very fast.

funktioniert einwandfrei

Ich nutze die App zum Backup meiner Foto-Ordner auf einer externen HD, sie funktioniert super, und wenn es einmal hakt (der Fehler sitzt meist hinter dem Monitor

Unglaublich schlecht

• ★☆☆☆☆   esound 9 years ago ( v 1.3.1 )

Lasst die Finger von dieser App. Dieses Prgramm hat mir alle Backups auf meiner NAS zerschossen. Habe vorher alle Einstellungen in Ordnern mit wenigen Dateien getestet und alle Modi durchprobiert. Da gab es keine Probleme. Bei der Anwendung in großen Datenbeständen hat nichts mehr funktioniert. Es war keinerlei System mehr ersichtlich, nachdem dieses Programm arbeitet.

Daten Synchronisieren

• ★★★★★   SU-XO 3... 8 years ago ( v 1.3.3 )

Synchronisiert! Das war das Ziel! Und noch vieles mehr, werde mich an die Feinheiten langsam herantasten.

Good piece of software - some annoying issues that if fixed would make it great

• ★★☆☆☆   Betstu2004 8 years ago ( v 1.3.3 )

I have downloaded the free version of the product and found it quite useful. At that point I have decided to spend the additional CAD11 to unlock the additional features and filters. This is when I stumbled onto the bugs: the product defaults to the US App Store and does not gracefully handle making the in-app purchase from the Canadian store. I seem to have worked around this issue the first time, however, when trying to restore the purchase subsequently it does not go through. As such it seems like a money lost unless the bug is fixed. The product worked very well when it worked.

Uhg!

Tried it. Couldn’t get it to work. It’s a bit cryptic. Every task is a in-App Purchase.
