    I've just discovered that X-Plore now has a built-in Sync function very similar to what SyncMe offers, but using SMB2. (A little searching with the Wayback Machine reveals that it was being beta tested in 2021.) Once you've set up X-Plore to recognize a "
    server" (actually a shared Windows folder), as described above, you can synchronize that folder with an Android folder, or you can copy newer files from one to the other without erasing orphans at the destination. This function is documented at https://
    www.lonelycatgames.com/docs/xplore/file-sync.

    *Do you know of a free Android SMBv2 (or SMBv3) client?*
    Here's a test I just ran.

    1. I installed these three free SMB clients on Android Nougat 7.0
    o AndSMB <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andsmb>
    o SyncMe WiFi <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bv.wifisync>
    o GhostCommander + SMB plugin <https://f-droid.org/packages/com.ghostsq.commander/>

    2. I set up Windows 10 to allow SMBv1 (in addition to SMBv2, & SMBv3):
    o Start > Run > control > OK
    o Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off >
    o Change from:
    [_]SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
    [_]SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal <=== I'm not sure what this is???
    [_]SMB 1.0/CIFS Client
    [_]SMB 1.0/CIFS Server
    [x]SMB Direct
    o Change to:
    [x]SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
    [_]SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal <=== I'm not sure what this is???
    [x]SMB 1.0/CIFS Client
    [x]SMB 1.0/CIFS Server
    [x]SMB Direct
    o Reboot

    3. All three free Android SMB clients work to connect to the PC share.

    4. I then remove SMBv1 from Windows 10 & reboot.
    5. All three clients fail to connect.

    6. Rooting around, I see the free Android AndSMB client (version 4.0.1)
    has the option to connect using SMBv2/v3, which, when tested, works.

    7. I don't see any such SMBv2/v3 option in SyncMe WiFi, which fails with
    the error "Connection Reset".

    8. Likewise with Ghost Commander + SMB plugin, which threw the error
    "Alert. An exception occurred with code c0000001. Failed to connect to 0.0.0.0<00>/192.168.1.10"

    My tentative conclusion?
    a. The only known free SMBv2/v3 client for Android appears to be AndSMB.
    b. There may be others; but don't use SyncMe WiFi or GhostCommander.
    c. *If you know of a free SMBv2/v3 client for Android - let us know!*
