I used to like having my phone constantly linked to my PC without needing to think about it, especially for copy-paste functionality. Unfortunately lately the app has been draining my battery in the background like crazy, where usually I'd end the day with about 20-30% battery left, now it's completely drained before I even finish the day! I turned it off from the phones settings (samsung) and I won't be using it until it's fixed. Turning it off and on is not a solution.

Been using this for some time now, until the other day at the office. Works fine at home, but the office went belly up. Keeps telling me it cannot sync. Reading through all the help screens was of NO USE. The amount of time I had to sign in and try to get it to work was infuriating. Like a virtual loop of signing in. They get you hooked on a product and then mess it all up, so you waste time and energy.

I can no longer get my pictures to load. I've had to fight with it to get the thing connected. The pictures I did get loaded can't be opened because the file is corrupted??? With brand new pictures...it won't automatically transfer to my file any more and I'm getting tired of messing with it. I tried reinstalling today but it still won't work. I'm so done.
