GoodSync is an easy and reliable file backup and file synchronization software. It automatically analyzes, synchronizes, and backs up your emails, family photos, MP3s, contacts, financial documents, and other important files locally - between desktops, laptops, servers, external drives, and remotely through FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.

Thats what their website claims. But did it really work? Hell no.

Mobiwee just doesn't work


So I found this website called Mobiwee. It is advertised as a over-the-air backup, file manager, and security for your cell phone. It also touts the ability to allow you to wipe your phone information clean and shut it off all done from any computer that has Internet access. It has versions for Blackberry which I tried and also for iPhone, and android phones. You start by downloading the client software to your phone and creating an account on the website. I did this and then waited to see how it works.

The first thing I asked Mobiwee to do was a very basic task which was to download my contacts to the website so that they could be edited or backed up. I waited 2 days and nothing happened. The software on my phone said that it was connected and the website said that the "request had been sent". Like I said, nothing happened.

Oh I take that back, something did happen. My battery was completely drained within 3 hours of having the software on my phone connected.

The service included the ability to track down your phone if it is lost or stolen. The problem is that if you leave the service connected, your phone will be drained and off within a couple of hours making it useless for tracking down your phone.

To tell you the truth, I didn't try any of the other services because the first one I tried didn't work and my battery was drained so fast that I couldn't possible allow it to remain on. So I just deleted it from my phone.

Sorry but I can't recommend this service to anyone. It just didn't do anything for me but kill my phone battery.
