Happy to tell you that I implemented new about dialog with more info and clickable links to relevant urls and upload sync. Also added a donate link there, hope no one will mind, just in case someone likes my app a little too much

For a file to be synced upstream it has to be a) newer timestamp b) different size. Same applies now to download sync. As I cannot operate on timestamps alone. And actually they are quite pointless to even check. As when you download a item from dropbox it gets a newer timestamp on your device, and next time this would be recognized as a changed file and would be uploaded even if the data is exactly the same.

Lets see if this poses a problem. I think byte accurate size is a good indicator if the file has been touched, but maybe some files wont change size with small modifications, this will be a problem with this system. But as said I am hacking around the API and this is not supported directly by dropbox. Lets see how you like it and how it works. I'll try to push and update this week. I want to do the camera sync also before that.

P.S coded untill 4am and now I am very late for work if you'll excuse me
