FolderSync vs WebDAV Manager

FolderSync moves files between folders on a device and cloud services or file servers, and it can also sync folders stored on the same device. One-way sync mirrors a source to a destination; two-way sync is also supported. It can transfer files between two remote locations through an Android device or desktop computer, which temporarily holds the files. Connections include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box and Nextcloud, along with FTP, SFTP, SMB, S3-compatible storage and WebDAV. Its V2 engine adds encryption, pre-sync change analysis, parallel transfers and Cron-based scheduling. FolderSync also supports Tasker integration and configurable events such as schedules and syncs. Encryption protects file names and contents before upload, but works only with one-way sync; a lost encryption password cannot be recovered. FolderSync says account, folder-pair and sync-log data stays on the device, while files go directly to the configured service or server. A free plan is available. Android requires version 8.0 or newer; desktop support covers Windows 10 or newer, macOS 10.15 or newer, and qualifying 64-bit x86 Linux systems.

WebDAV Manager is a native WebDAV client for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. It connects to servers over HTTP or HTTPS using Basic or Digest authentication. You can save multiple server profiles with separate URLs, ports, credentials, and settings, then browse folders, create folders, upload, download, share, or delete files. The app previews text, PDFs, images, and videos, and shows thumbnails in file lists. Connections can be configured by pasting a complete server URL or entering fields individually. The maker says credentials, server URLs, and files remain on the device and move only between it and the configured WebDAV server; the app collects no personal data or sends data to its own servers. The free app is listed at free and 2 MB. Requirements include iOS or iPadOS 16, macOS 13 on Apple M1 or later, or visionOS 1.
