EasySSHFS vs EasySync
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
EasySSHFS
SSH Filesystem is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Fuse 3.10.5. Sshfs 3.7.1. Ssh client from OpenSSH-portable 8.9p (with OpenSSL 1.1.1n). For using public key authentication add "IdentityFile=" to sshfs options. Password-protected keys are not supported. Rooted device required (/dev/fuse in android is not allow for users except root). Application source code: https://github.com/bobrofon/easysshfs WARNING: If you just want to have access to the files on your PC from your Android phone, then sshfs is a VERY bad solution for that problem. You really need to know some internal details about Android storage implementation to make something useful with sshfs. And EasySSHFS is not intended to hide all these details from its users. Please try to use any implementation of Android document provider for sftp protocol (or any other solution to work with sftp) before trying to use sshfs. NOTE: - If you are using SuperSu to manage root access and have no effect after mounting done, try to disable "mount namespace separation" option in SuperSU. - It is highly recommended to create mount points in /data/media/0 on Android 4.2 and /mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0 on Android 6.0 and above.
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
