The product itself is solid with many features not available in other file syncing programs. However, since they've gone to a subscription model, they don't support users of free subscription software, so I'm basically out the money that I paid for their product, for multiple versions.

I've had a Goodsync licence since 2016 and used it extensively. I would love to continue to, but it has an issue... On recent versions of MacOS, if you have restored your new M series mac from a timemachine backup (as many do), Goodsync is broken, apparently permanently. I have three Apple silicon macs and my goodsync wont work on any of them anymore (i'm told) because they were setup with data from the previous intel based Mac. Siber need to urgently hire some competent McOS programmers, because it's not 2003 anymore and this fragility will cost them users as it has done with me.

I've been using GoodSync for years and am very with its functionality. But it is very disappointing that an app I purchased with a lifelong license stops working all of a sudden and I'm asked to pay an annual subscription.

It does not help me that it automatically synchronizes me if my damn computer turns off every time it synchronizes.

Goodsync worked well syncing QNAP NAS to NAS across the internet - until it didn't. Tech support is by email only and not interested in solving the problem. I understand that 95% if support inquires can be answered with RTFM, but they need an escalation process if they want to retain their customers. To add insult to injury, the change to annual subscription has made goodsync a $120/year commitment - way too expensive. A subscription model only works if the price matches the value provided. Goodsync should be. $15/year cost per license, not $40.

The user interface is one of the worst I've ever used. Buttons that are supposed to work simply don't. Customer service mindlessly repeats the same fixes repeatedly if you ask for help, and eventually says things like "it should work" and "I don't know how to help". If your WebDAV credentials change be prepared to recreate your sync jobs. When it's running it does the job seamlessly, but it often fails for no reason with no indication in the logs, then mysteriously starts working again a few days later.

I can't get access to the license I purchased. Tech support says that I have it installed on a computer somewhere and cannot put it on a different one. I haven't changed computers, and all three of my computers (2 laptops, 1 desktop) give me the error that another computer has the license. Tech support is not helpful. Product was not intuitive when I installed it. I fought with it for a few hours to get it to work, and then went through the same thing a few months later when I tried to use it again. Now I have spent the afternoon only to find that my license is (for whatever reason) unusable. I just downloaded AllwaySync (for free) and hope it will meet my needs.

Takes a very long time to index large directories. Promoted as free upgrade to version 10 after purchasing V9, but program stopped working on license issues. Tried to revert to V9 and still says license issues. Complained to customer support, no response. I don't recommend this company or product...at all.

Recently upon opening the software, I received a popup to install the newest upgrade. Fantastic, I thought, and allowed the download and installation. Now the program will not accept my original order number, instead telling me that I need to purchase this new version. I would have never installed the upgrade if I had known that as the original program worked fine for what I needed.

It often mireads files as being duplicates but are not. Very dangerous program if you assume it makes the correct decision.

I love the early versions of GS because I want to control what I do and not use the automatic features. The newer versions have added complexity that I do not want and I find them difficult to use. I also think backup should go from left to right, but the new version seems to have it go right to left. I won't purchase another version.

Poor for the reason I bought it! I bought it to sync my PC with my Windows mobile device (mtp). It simply gets stuck and does not sync.

Earlier versions of GoodSync that I used (with earlier versions of Windows) worked perfectly for me; I used only the Backup-on-logoff feature. With the new GoodSync (on Windows 10, 64-bit) the Backup-on-logoff feature no longer works, and I have to do it manually -- which I often forget. This hasn't been a problem recently, because I have written very little (I back up my works external drives), but will become a serious problem when I return to the "production line". Can someone suggest an alternative software?

Because many FTP / SFTP integration is very poor. Many bugs on scheduling. Where expected to run, sometimes fails. The support is poor too. There is a bugs that hangs the app on ftps syncs, where goodsync explorer run correctly. We purchase GoodSync but we cant use for professional use.
