SafeSync 1.6
One service that lets you do just that is SafeSync. It's available for Android devices, iOS devices, Macs and PCs, meaning you can sync up to 20 GB of files and access them from any of these devices.
Dull interface that could use an upgrade
The app's UI is quite boring, but well structured with tabs for accessing sections inside the app and options under the overflow button on the bottom of the screen. The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of onscreen instructions to show new users all of the app's functions.
However, it does have a help section filled with all sort of tips to get you started. But before you can actually sync files, you'll need to create an account. Do so by registering with an email address, the app doesn't link to any social network to make it easier to sign in.
Upload files easily
The app only comes with a 30 day free trial and afterwards you'll need to pay 59.95$ for 50 GB or 99.95$ for 100 GB but only from the developer's website. Still, the trial doesn't require users to provide credit card information which means there are no security issues with that.
The app lets you upload all sort of files easily, simply tap on the designated icon to add images, videos, take a picture or a video. It also lets you add all sort of files, including documents and apks, as you can explore your device and choose which items will be uploaded. Still, it's quite inconvenient that it doesn't let you add multiple files at once. The app also works offline, you can access you last uploaded files easily.
Some shortcomings
It has a search bar for finding files fast and it lets you manage items easily, using folders that you can create in your cloud account or on your device. The tasks section shows all your latest uploads and downloads.
Still, the app doesn't have a pin code to help users lock their files, requiring them to always sign out after each session. Aside from that, it doesn't display the size of folders or files, the number of items they contain, although it lets you rename and share them.
The app also doesn't have an automated backup feature and it's quite annoying to take so many steps just to upload one file, as it doesn't support batch uploads.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
It could use an upgrade as the interface is quite dull and boring, with some dated characteristics. |
Function7
It has all the basic features, but it doesn't support batch upload nor does it automatically upload files to the cloud account. |
Security9
The developer is pretty trustworthy as it also designed antivirus apps, but this one could really use a pin code, so you wouldn't have to log out. |
Battery6
Because it needs constant internet connection, consumption might be a bit higher than for other similar apps. |
Price8
The app is free and comes with a 30 day trial for 20 GB of space, but you'll have to use the desktop version in order to buy more. |
Compatibility8
It should work on devices running Android version 2.1 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
It has all the basic features but needs some functionality improvements aside from free space outside the trial version.
