Drive Download

About Drive Download

Cost: $1.49 US / year with a free 3-day free trial using an In-App Purchase Subscription. No Ads.

This App downloads a folder from either your NextCloud or Drive to a local folder on your device.

This is different from a sync, in that items put into the local folder from some other place are *not* uploaded to the drive folder.

Its not a sync App, its a download App.

The cloud folder is mirrored onto the device, which means that the local folder will be made to contain exactly what is in the drive folder - a mirror image of what is in the drive folder.

This is important to understand because it means that any items added locally on the device, to the local folder, will be deleted next time the contents of the drive folder are downloaded.

What this mean in a practical sense, is that you typically want to start with an empty local folder and only ever change its contents on the drive folder in the cloud. It makes no sense to make local changes to the folder since the next download will make the local folder look, again, exactly like the drive folder.

If you get an error, like no access to your Drive, its most likely permission was not granted, by you, to access the account (called Contacts by Android) or local storage when you opened the App. If this happens, uninstall Drive Download, re-install it, and allow all the permission requests. The App needs permission to work.
