Installed and registered the Ashampoo way without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A clean install with the always added "Your software deals".

A German company with all legal information. Well known and often discussed here.

Ashampoo usually gives the last version for free as promotion, if a new version is on the market. This time a little bit different. There is no new version, today version from July 2013 is still the latest version - never updated. It doesn't seem to be a big success.

The program installs and start a MediaSyncTray.exe, which resides in the tray and waits for a device to be connected.

Once a device (autoplay enabled) is attached, you can define the behavior of this program. Where to store which files. The files are grouped into photo, video, music and documents.

You define a destination for each group individually

And there is the big but. Once you define to save your photo to a folder x, all photos will be stored in the same folder, there is no rename, no creation of sub directories according to your definition and so on. If you don't care about this, you can use this as a simple importer, which separates video files from photo files to different directories. Is there really a need for this? IMHO no...

Uninstalled via reboot, I see no real use for this on my computer.

Thanks Karl and I concur.

Only use if you have a bunch of files in a big folder to sort them out.
Also absolutely NO DOCUMENTATION or HELP!FILE with the program or online on their site

Great Review as usual ;)

Done as krypteller states. Cannot see a gear wheel. Bonkers that it only syncs to an attatched device. No way to scan folder or folders on your PC. Waste of time.

I use FreeFileSync for total control. Media Sync needs more work.

The fundamental concept behind the creation of this Ashampoo software is confused.
Nobody organises his files in such a strait-jacketed way.
Worse, the implementation of that erroneous concept, is robotic.
Real world users need much more flexibility.

Other software companies have tried similar approaches. For example RoboFolder and RoboImport. This genre of software are all failures.

Presumably, a powerful file manager like Total Commander (portable) with the relevant plugins would easily take care of this function.
You can use Zback portable freeware to sync or mirror if you wish.
