What it does
Automatic synchronisation
The app keeps your files up to date in the background, so what you see on your phone matches your cloud.
Photos and videos upload themselves
Recordings from your phone can be uploaded automatically — your holiday pictures are backed up without you thinking about it.
Share with people and by link
Share files with other users and groups, or create several public links with different settings.
Add files from your device
Send documents from other apps straight into your cloud using the Android share sheet.

Thanks to the document provider integration, other Android apps can open and save files in your cloud directly.
Two-factor authentication
