Transfer integrity
A successful transfer should preserve the file you chose, its useful metadata, and a result you can verify.
File Sync moves selected photos, videos, documents, music, and other files between mobile devices and computers. It is a focused transfer utility—not continuous synchronization or a managed backup service—so you remain responsible for verifying the destination and keeping recoverable copies.
Local transfer controls
Keep resolution, metadata, and format choices visible
Local Wi-Fi transfer
Use a browser on the same network to upload or download selected files.
Metadata preservation
Preserve supported metadata, including EXIF details, instead of treating every export as a flattened copy.
Local file manager
Store, view, rename, move, delete, and share supported files in the app.
Conversion options
Use supported HEIC-to-JPG and HEVC-to-MP4 conversion paths when the destination needs more common formats.
Wi-Fi or supported USB
Choose a local browser workflow or a supported USB path; exact USB availability varies by platform and version.

Local transfer guide
Transfer full-resolution photos and files while keeping metadata visible
File Sync is a local transfer utility for moving selected photos, videos, and files between mobile devices and computers. It focuses on transfer quality, metadata, format handling, and verification rather than promising continuous cloud sync or managed backup.
Local Wi-Fi, USB, and computer browsers
The current Apple and Google Play descriptions list local Wi-Fi and USB transfer paths for supported mobile-to-computer workflows. Browser access is described for Windows, Mac, and Linux, without requiring content to pass through an external storage server for the local-network flow.
Connection steps and USB requirements can differ by phone, operating system, cable, and browser. Confirm the destination has opened the transferred files before disconnecting or deleting originals.
Full resolution, metadata, and RAW files
Both current store descriptions list full-resolution transfer without quality loss, preservation of supported EXIF and location metadata, and RAW movement in both directions. Actual results still depend on the source file, permissions, destination software, and supported format.
Verify a representative sample after transfer: compare dimensions, file size, capture date, location fields, and whether the destination can decode the original file.
Conversion is different from copying originals
The Apple listing describes HEIC-to-JPG and HEVC-to-MP4 conversion plus Live Photo handling. Equivalent Android conversion options are not claimed here because the current Google Play description does not establish the same scope.
Use conversion for compatibility and keep an original when maximum fidelity or future editing matters. A completed transfer is still not a true backup until another recoverable copy is maintained and tested.
Platform and edition comparison
Compare transfer paths by platform
File Sync has one Apple listing and one Android listing. Both currently describe Wi-Fi, USB, full-resolution, metadata, and RAW transfer; conversion scope is not assumed to be identical.

Purchase guidance
Understand the purchase before treating File Sync as a workflow
The Apple app is a free download with In-App Purchases; current subscription prices and entitlement limits were not verified in the audit.
- Review the live paywall, renewal period, cancellation steps, and transfer limits before upgrading.
- Apple and Google manage billing and cancellation; deleting the app does not itself cancel a subscription.
- A successful transfer is not a backup unless you separately maintain and test a recoverable copy at the destination.

Privacy, storage, and trust
Local transfer is not the same as backup
For local Wi-Fi transfer, selected files move across the nearby network without requiring an external upload. That does not create a continuous sync relationship or a managed, restorable backup lifecycle.
- Verify file count, resolution, format, and needed metadata at the destination before deleting any original.
- HEIC-to-JPG or HEVC-to-MP4 conversion changes the delivered format; choose conversion only when compatibility requires it.
- USB availability and exact metadata or RAW handling can vary by platform and version, so confirm the current listing for your device.
