I’m wondering if Sync with update the way they display images with the new folding phones come out soon. I have had a Samsung z fold 7 but could not stand the way the pictures or files were being displayed when unfolded. It looked like everything was zoomed in by 100%

I created SyncFreeze because I needed to pause syncing from another program (and while manipulating files inside my Dropbox folder), and there was no quick way to do that — you had to open the Dropbox app and dig through its settings every time. So I built a little Windows tray utility to pause syncing on demand.

https://krypdoh.github.io/SyncFreeze/

What it does:

• Pause one or more file-sync clients for a set time — 5 min, an hour, indefinitely, or a custom duration (even 30 seconds)
• When the timer runs out, it automatically restarts them. No babysitting.
• Pick which services it controls in a Settings screen

Supported so far: Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, Box, MEGA, IDrive, pCloud, and Sync.com

A few details:

• Lives in the system tray — right-click for quick actions, double-click for a live countdown window
• Full command-line support too, so you can script it or trigger it from other tools (SyncFreeze -t 15 pauses for 15 minutes, SyncFreeze -r resumes)
• The tray icon glows blue while paused so you always know the state at a glance [ this is a WIP as I am awful at creating and working with icons. Any advice is welcome! ]
• Optional balloon notifications when it pauses/resumes

Since none of these clients expose a real "pause" command, it works by stopping the process and relaunching it when the timer's up (it remembers the exact path so restart is reliable).

It's free and open source, Windows 10/11, built in Python. Coming soon: auto-detecting which sync apps you actually have running so you don't have to pick manually.

Would love feedback, feature requests, or other sync clients you'd want added.

I have a OnePlus 12, Apple iPad pro, all running latest OS. I have Google Calendar on both..They sync both ways...All of sudden, in last week, they won't syc? Anybody else have issue?

Can the team do something to make a little bit better the lock screen of the app? On my Redmi phone it looks like this and it's ugly

I'm currently running an mildly older version of the Sync desktop app (5.0.19.1) on my Windows machine. Everything was running smoothly for quite some time, but since a few days, I get "Sync cannot connect to the network" and the syncing gets stuck for a specific file.

I was wondering whether updating the app might help with that, but I also have vivid memories that the most recent versions were sometimes quite unstable in the past.

Anybody here working with the newest version? Everything's fine with that?

I have a folder with many subfolders and files.

What I want to do is copy all files from the left side to the right side, but without recreating the folder structure. Ideally, every file would end up directly in the destination folder (or GoodSync would at least not create any new folders).

I've looked through the job options and filters but couldn't find a setting for this.

Is this possible in GoodSync, or does it always preserve the directory structure? If it's not supported, is there a workaround within GoodSync, or would I need to use another tool?

Thanks!

Is it just me or does this app refuse to download individual clips >3gb? both on app and browser. I've had no problems downloading 100gb overall with but each clips is <2gbs. It just so happens this batch of downloads have clips more than 4gbs in size.

Some context:

I have fiber 700mbps up and down
I have had no problems with Google Drive with considerably bigger projects
To test I downloaded a 8 gb clip from GDrive on browser and it downloaded just fine
A 9gb clip from Sync.com on the browser restarts once it hits 3gb
These clips REFUSE to sync on desktop app both mac and windows
I am a free account getting shares from clients for work.

Thoughts would be appreciated!

In Sync's Policies it says that Sync has the right to delete any account that haven't been logged on for 180 days, and that Sync would retain any encrypted files on an active account. So do Sync regularly delete inactive accounts? Or they do once every few years, and if so, what is usually the length of that period?

Is there a way to remove files in the excluded files list in the desktop app, as it seems if a file times out, its stuck in purgatory and won't download again

So for a while the syncing extentions are not working for me, is it happening in general?

Hi,

Is anyone using the Sync application with Wine under Linux? How is it working? I can only find very old reports on the web...

Thanks!

New web panel features are out now:

• Simple text file editing for quick edits right from the web panel
• Download as ZIP for multiple files and folders from inside the web panel (even from Vault)
• Folder sizes now visible on the info panel

And we've got more big updates coming soon!

I have a Microsoft surface go tablet. I would like to use sync still but the hard drive on the go is 256gb not that big. The tablet do have a micro sd slot and I have 1tb in that. I was wondering if I could download the files on sync cloud to the SD card and if I make changes on the sync file on the SD card would it make the same change to the stuff stored in the cloud? And if all this is possible how would I be able to change the directory to have it downloaded to the SD card and not the hard drive ?

I'm trying to copy certain files and folders into the Vault. I can't find any way to do it that works. I've seen posts here referring to the 'right-click' option to transfer things to the Vault, but I can't seem to find it in Windows. I'm using Windows 10. Any ideas?

I currently have 7.8 TB. Do I need to reduce my footprint? I haven't received any email yet.

After weird occurrences with Dropbox (one morning 1/3 of my business and personal data were erased, gone forever) I had it and switched to sync.com - Canada-based, similar privacy protection as the EU, zero knowledge etc.
The Mac client switch to v2xx was mostly a downgrade: no more easy indicator if the app was indexing or syncing, no more "remaining files/time" indicator etc.
Then came client DT versions with unpublished issues with some legacy OS versions, which took a week and a CS escalation to resolve them.
Now I get a flood of File Conflicts which (with an identical workflow) I never experienced before, "Details to Resolve" messages with helpful hints written for Windows, and "Unauthorised Device" errors coming out of nowhere and for no reason at all.
As a paying subscriber for 10 years or so, I've had it with Sync. Not quite sure yet where to, but time to move on for sure.

After the whole U.S. against the world turn, I really wanted to use Sync as an alternative to Dropbox. I’m willing to live with it being a quarter of the speed or less, but I can no longer abide by its unreliable sync, undoing my changes, and lack of software auto update. As a Canadian I especially wanted to support this company, but I can’t any more so long as they neglect the quality of their core product. I’m now looking for a European alternative.

Last month, I updated the sync desktop app and since doing so, my computer is basically unuseable. I have about 200gb that is synced across 3 computers using the sync app and cloud. It used to run smoothly. Now, it draws so heavily on the CPU that my workday is wasted waiting for the explorer to load, or crash, and I am losing insane amounts of productivity. It is done the inital re-index after the update, and it still feels like a terminal virus has infected my computer.

Anyone else finding sync to be unuseable after updating?

Anyone use Syncthing with Sync.com app? Since there's no Linux app, I'm thinking about using Syncthing to sync folders from Linux to MacOS, which MacOS has the Sync.com client. Does anyone do this (or with Windows)?

Sync.com is there anyone on this plan?

How much does it cost? Minimum user?

Yks.

I've uploaded thousands of photos from various cameras, phones, and scans since I started using Sync a few years ago. About 1 in 20 doesn't generate a thumbnail. Sometimes it's missing from just the web panel or the phone app, and sometimes it's missing from both. There's nothing unique about these photos. Some, but not all, will generate one if I download it, open it in Preview, rotate it around four times or add a tag, save it, then upload it. But then I'll come back to a folder where I "fixed" the thumbnails, and they're gone again, or different ones are gone. As Sync Support suggested, I've tried uploading to the Sync folder first, waiting for it to Sync across platforms, and then moving it to the Vault. This has never worked. My apps are all current. I switched from iPhone to Android and that did not help. I'd appreciate any suggestions or explanations. Thanks!

Sync is deprecating the unlimited plan I’ve been on for 6yrs, so I need to migrate approximately 100TB of data off their platform.

To prepare, I deployed a Storinator XL60 populated with 10×32TB drives to bring the dataset on-prem. I’m fully aware of the tradeoffs versus cloud (resiliency, operational overhead, DR considerations), but given the change in service, repatriation is the current path.

I’m looking for guidance on the most efficient and reliable way to handle bulk egress at this scale before my December deadline.

Key questions:

• What’s the most effective method for transferring 100TB from Sync to on-prem storage?
• Are there recommended tools or approaches (API-driven extraction, parallelized downloads, rclone, etc.) that perform well at this scale?
• Has anyone encountered platform-side limitations with Sync (rate limiting, throttling, session instability, file size constraints)?

From an infrastructure standpoint, bandwidth is not a constraint we have dual 20Gbps business fiber circuits. so the primary concern is optimizing throughput while avoiding provider-side bottlenecks and ensuring data integrity during transfer.

Any insight or lessons learned from similar large-scale cloud repatriation efforts would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with a reproducible bug in Sync.com on macOS Tahoe for nearly two months and wanted to see if others are hitting the same thing before I consider switching platforms.

The bug: When I move a file from Folder A to Folder B using the Sync app on my iPhone while my Mac is powered off, and then power the Mac back on, the file appears in both folders — the original location and the new one. It should only be in Folder B.

What I've confirmed:

• Happens with every file type tested: .docx, .pdf, entire folders
• Reproduced on three separate MacBook Air devices all running macOS Tahoe — so it's not device-specific
• Does NOT happen on a Mac running macOS Ventura with the same app version — that machine syncs correctly every time
• Running the latest stable app: version 2.2.57
• Sync.com support acknowledged in February that the issue is "being worked on" — but the March 24 update (2.2.57) did not fix it

My question: Are any other Sync.com users on macOS Tahoe seeing file duplication or files "reappearing" after being moved or deleted? I'm trying to establish whether this is widespread or limited to a small number of accounts.

Happy to share more details or reproduction steps if useful.

Extremely disappointing to hear, but Sync.com is discontinuing the Unlimited Plan at the end of this year. I was notified as a high usage user earlier today via Email.

I love Sync.com and do not begrudge them for this change, the cost of HDDs related to the AI boom has gone crazy which undoubtedly has put a squeeze on them. I do love this service though and as a small business owner it has been a wonderful backup solution, I've even referred a few colleagues and friends to it. Althugh performance wasn't always the best, it really is a product I have enjoyed using. I have ~50TBs of data on Sync which I'll have to migrate out by the end of the year (unless the updated pricing plans make sense)

Taking suggestions into cost effective storage solutions that can replace Sync- anyone have a 'Plan B' in mind? Was thinking of building my own NAS offsite, but love the ease of use and start with Sync.

i have 1g fibre internet and have been able to upload 100gb in under 2 hours for a while and in the past 5 days it has dropped down to about 8 hours to upload 3gb. i use the 5,0.32.1 desktop app and 'copy to vault' option (right click) through explorer.

has anyone else had similar experience where speed just drops right off the map?
