SynoSync is a file synchronization tool crafted for iPhone and iPad, supporting Synology NAS, WebDAV, and SMB services. It is specifically designed to solve the long-standing issue where traditional sync software cannot flexibly integrate into the iOS "Files" app workflow. Simply log into your server, select a shared directory, and use the system file picker to specify a local target—allowing you to sync files to any authorized directory accessible by the Files app. The app supports three sync modes: Server-to-Local, Local-to-Server, and Two-Way synchronization, while offering flexible conflict resolution strategies (Keep Newer, Keep Local, Keep Remote, or Keep Both). With support for extended foreground syncing and automatic background syncing, it is the perfect tool for long-term maintenance of note libraries, document repositories, research data, and project files.
PonteDisk

Open the photos and files that already live on your home disk. PonteDisk connects your iPhone to a NAS, a shared folder on a PC, or any network disk on the same Wi-Fi. The files stay on the disk. You browse them, preview them, and copy one only when you want it on the phone. WHAT IT CONNECTS TO • SMB / Samba shares (home NAS, Windows PC, router storage) • FTP and FTPS servers • WebDAV (including Nextcloud) • Disks found automatically on the local network WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse folders with a photo gallery and a full file list • Preview images, then save a copy to the Camera Roll • Upload photos and videos from your phone to the disk • Rename, move, delete, and share files • Transfers continue in the background BUILT TO BE SIMPLE PonteDisk is meant for the disk at home, not for a server room. It looks for disks on Wi-Fi so you do not have to type an IP address. Photos stay on the disk until you choose to copy one. Not a USB cable app, and not a cloud locker. If the disk is on and you are on home Wi-Fi, PonteDisk opens it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PonteDisk at none against SynoSync's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
