Hello,
Before I scour the Play Store for applications that may or may not do what I am wanting, I decided to ask here first to get some feedback.
I am looking for an app to install on a family members phone that will automatically sync their data (pictures/videos), to a shared network drive over the local wireless in our home, with a customizable time schedule that does not require a user/password to be in place on the local computer and or storage device I plan to sync the data to. Currently I have their data being stored to Google+ however would like to get away from cloud sourced backups for photos/videos if possible and manage the backups locally.
I have already done some simple searching and came across SyncMe Wireless, by reading the description it appears to do what I want to do however upon installing it looks like it requires you to have a password in place on the computer you wish to sync to.
Hopefully I conveyed what I am trying to do in a way that it makes sense, has anyone had any experience with this type of scenario, if so what application did you end up using?
I would prefer a free app, I do not mind paying if it will do what I am looking for it to do, would also like do to without the "install this application on your pc for this app on your phone to do this task".
*edit*
Upon looking into this more I think FolderSync will do exactly what I want (syncing to a SMB share), going to give the lite version a try when I get home.
