As well as FTP, sFTP, SMB, S3 and WebDAV.
As well as syncing folders from local device (for example, from internal to MicroSD).
Try it if it works, and if you like it, buy it. It's cheap. Free version supports I think up to a few sync options (called FolderPairs).
You can set a scheduled time (or days of week, or multiple times a day), to only sync on charging, only on WiFi, and two-way sync in addition to only standard one-way sync.
You can also backup and restore settings.
I set it to only display an error notification in case something is wrong and that's it. If it works nothing, if there's something wrong it's an error and that's it.

vjx012, 07 Mar 2024FolderSync autosyncs any folder. Including SD cards.That's nice but I'm using onedrive which doesn't support it. Also pCloud where I have 2 TB lifetime and that doesn't support sync either. Support was offended when I asked. "Of course SD card sync functionality is not supported"

What would be the cons of having it?i dont think so speed and reliability. My OLD sd card from s7 edge is still alive and i have used it till my s20u,note9,s8 plus. Now its useless because of people like you who thinks they know what is useful to someone. We are all consumers,if you dont use something it doesnt mean someone is not using it. Anyhow if its not coming back im not worried also Because I dont need a 1000usd phone just to use it for YouTube,fb,tiktok,instagram and casual emails.

2. I haven't lost anything with root except OTA, and KnoxPatch restores Knox features except Samsung Pass and one other
3. Maybe if you put apps there, but NEVER had it slow down my S10+, and with a PC using a MicroSD reader supporting UHS-III (or UHS-II, whichever is fastest and exists today) transfer speed was 130 MB/s, it would be close to 300 MB/s with a UHS-II compatible card

2. If you root a Samsung phone you lose more than gain. Maybe after the end of support, it is worth it.
3. SD cards can slow down the phone. Even when you unlock it will take 1s to load your home screen, annoying.

They remove it because of only 1 reason,to milk more money,because they realize that 256GB is enough for apps,but too less for todays standards if you store videos and photos on the same nand flash. Remember samsung even give us 100GB free on onedrive storage ?why becsuse they are trying to promote cloud. I want my data on my hand,i dont want someone keeping my data safe for me.

You don't need that much speed to store most important data. And much faster than cloud.
Case in point: I use Neo Backup. On my S21U I had to spend 2 hours downloading everything for Neo Backup from Google Drive, which would take all of 12 minutes with MicroSD. It takes at least an hour to transfer from PC to phone and vice versa.
How's 130 MB/s slow?

Hmmm... I'm coming from the S22U too and haven't noticed this. In fact, I have my S24U on the Natural mode setting... the colours are great.
"Also not liking the flat screen, it looks cheap and feels less comfortable to hold"
Looks cheap?! And surely you knew about the flat screen before buying it? 🤔

Samsung is not doing great this time,the s24u screen feels cheaper for me. The display is not vivid and it looks matte and colors are washed out with noticeable noise/grainy on the picture. Maybe because of the extra anti reflectiveness of the screen. Anotherr is low storage options,without sd card you're trapped with a very low 256GB storage. No noticeable upgrade even coming from s22u.
