  • Not yet, if you're kind enough to add it on our uservoice (https://cloudmesh.uservoice.com/) so that the other users can vote it ;)
  • "Background" syncing is kind of deceptive here.  Actually, you must have the app open for it to sync. What I really want is true background syncing, where files stay up-to-date automatically...without us having to open the app.  With that, I could rush off to the airport in the morning and have the satisfaction of knowing my files are on my phone. How often should it check?  Let us choose: 10 min, 30 min, hourly, daily, weekly!
  • We are working on that, but first we need to test the system and check how users are using the sync capability. Still the downloads are made in background but for now you have to open the app to start them.
