Not working properly in macOS Tahoe 26.2

Sync Folders used to function effectively after the initial setup in earlier versions of macOS. However, in macOS Tahoe 26.2, we encounter persistent failures, even though the profiles previously worked seamlessly. For instance, we frequently encounter issues reading files in ~/Library, despite providing it with full disk access multiple times. Consequently, I’ve switched to Syncovery (which also has its own learning curve), but it has eliminated all read errors.

So useful

It’s a lifesaver for backups because it only copies the files that have actually changed which saves me so much time when moving stuff between my device and external drives.

It works

I use this app to back up my drone photos and videos to my phone (iPhone 17 pro max, 1TB) then to my 2TB Lexar Professional Go SSD card. It actually works. I just wish it explains usage in more detail.

Confusing, difficult to configure

Almost impossible to determine what it’s going to do and the CONSTANT opening of a browser and the App Store to get you to buy Pro (Which I may have done) are just too annoying to deal with. Deleted.

Great Utility App for Power Users!

This app is very useful if you have a lot of files you want to sync with an external storage drive! This is great for anyone who manages lots of large files, and wants a simple way to sync their backups from their iPad! 👍🏻. And the UI is very clean, they’ve adopted all of the proper UI paradigms that make it feel almost like a native app!
