Have you noticed any change in battery performance on BasicSync? I've been thinking about switching over; aside from the poor dev transition/communication, the new version by ResearchXXL started chewing through my battery life. Used an older version of the app and confirmed that it used less energy, but was too concerned about possible security exploits in what is a very popular p2p application with extensive file permissions...
I have noticed no difference but I'm also one of those users who only sync while their phone is charging (especially because I have a synced computer on less than half the time, so it's a waste of energy to have my phone constantly seek for my other devices online), so I don't know if my experience is relevant if your syncing is constant.
I like to fine-tune my control based on charging in case I experience data loss once in a blue moon, to eliminate panic about the loss immediately daisy-chaining to other devices. I guess I don't understand/trust how file retrieval through the trash system works...
