EasySync vs Zimly S3 Backup
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
EasySync
Synchronize images, videos, audio and downloads with your WebDAV server. Synchronize in both directions. Secure and open source. What is synchronized: * Images, video, screenshots that are displayed in your gallery will be synchronized. This includes images and videos in `DCIM/`, `Pictures/`, `Movies/` and `Download/` * If they are only available in a specific app but not in gallery, they won't be synchronized * Please note that messaging apps (messages, whatsapp, signal, etc.) generally offer you the choice between saving files in your gallery (in such case they will be synchronized) or not * All audio and music files that are visible in `Alarms/`, `Audiobooks/`, `Music/`, `Notifications/`, `Podcasts/`, `Ringtones/` and `Recordings/` will be synchronized * Beware that google's own voice recorder stores its files privately and offer its own cloud synchronization. They won't be synchronized by EasySync * All downloaded files in `Download/` will be synchronized, whether they are pdf, epubs, documents, images, etc. What is not synchronized: Everything not explicitly stated above is not synchronized. More specifically: * Applications * Applications data/state * Messages * Contacts * Games progress * Wifi or network parameters * Android settings and phone customization Files on **SD Card** are **NOT** synced
