SYNCHRONISING - General Topics

How do I set up my XDA so that the synchronised files folder gets stored on another driver other than the C:\.
I have 2 hard drives on my machine and want it stored on the other one.
Thanks.

it will always sync with the dir you get in my documents
but on a pc you can always change the location of my documents
if you change that to your other disk activesync will sync with that
use tweakui to change the my documents location

Sync Files on XP Desktop and Orbit

Hi all,
there is another question regarding my orbit.
I have setup the "File Synchronization Settings"
When I connect the Orbit to the computer, it synchronize these files on both locations.
This function works great.
The only problem is that the folder location has been pre-set in the main memory.
I want to put all my documents in my micro-sd card, although I can copy the files to it, but it addes several more steps.
Is it possible to change this location to my micro-sd?
Thanks for looking.

Syncing files in custom directories

I'd like to know if it's possible to use ActiveSync (or any other 3rd party add-on, for that matter) to sync files from any location on my host computer's hard drive onto my WM6 Professional device.
I've tried enabling 'Files' in the syncing menu in ActiveSync, but all that does is create a directory in my computer within 'My Documents' which I'm supposed to put the files which I want synced. I need something more than that -- I'd like the ability to say 'ok, I have file x on my computer in directory y... go sync that to my device in directory z'.

Newer versions are commercial but this one (last freeware one) will do the job flawlessly - it can sync data on SD card too.
Thanks guys!

How to sync files on the Polaris with network folder?

Hi
I have the following configuration:
1) Windows Vista Ultimate on a PC connected to a router
2) NAS (QNAP) where I store my important files connected to same router
3) HTC Polaris
What I would like to have is to syncronized the files on the Polaris with the files on the NAS. In Windows Mobile Device Center I can only syncronize to a folder located in the Vista PC.
The problem is that is always difficult to syncronize the files between NAS/VISTA PC/POLARIS all together
Is there a way to directly syncronize the files on the Polaris with the NAS (without having to setup an expensive exchange server)?

You'll have to use something like Easy Sync, or Mighty Sync. You'll also have to install CardExport to export your storage card (assuming thats where you store your files on your TC) so that it shows up as a usb drive under XP/Vista.

The files are not many and in the main storage.
Maybe a registry hack for "windows mobile device center" to choose a folder on a network drive? I'am sure is possible, how though?
With those tools I will not have problems with sync between 3 folders??? (the Polaris, the Vista PC, the network folder)

sync folders

hi,
i have a desktop and a laptop and have a couple of folders synced by microsoft live sync. is there an android app to sync some of these folders to the sd-card of my htc desire?
if not, is there an app, that can sync some folders on my desktop to my htc desire on the sd-card. i tryied dropbox, but you can only sync the dropbox folder. if you want to sync a folder outside of it, you have to work with junctions / hard links, that's not what i want to do.
i want to sync my photo folder of the sd-card to my desktop and some folders with excel and word files.
I'm on a Mac, but in my Dropbox prefs, you can define the folder for it to use. If that's the case on your platform, you should be able to set it to the same folder Microsoft Live Sync uses...

HTC sync not syncing all documents in target folder

I have come across an issue where HTC sync does not sync all the documents that are specified in the folder to sync from the PC to the phone - it takes MS office documents - but it does not take Open office file extensions - any reason for that? - a sync programme should not care about file extensions???
Found this thread from a wide Google search.
I have exactly this problem. New HTC Amaze on T-mobile, downloaded latest HTC Sync, and have successfully synced calendar and contact info <-> with Outlook 2003 ( XP PRO). I enabled option to sync Documents from PC, pointed it at a new folder, and it synced only some documents and two sub-folders to /mnt/sdcard/My Documents/Documents/l/Documents and Settings/[username]/[device name] documents/ (whew what a arcane path!). (Yes, \My Documents\ is mounted on drive L: to keep volumes clean.) ... Back to the story. It left out a third sub-folder that contained .WAV, .AAC, and .MP3 files. Tried resyncing a few times. HTC Sync of course offers no fine granularity options, nor even a user guide on the Help menu.
I miss Nokia PC Suite already (12 days with an Android, yes, I am a Major Noob).
Anyone determined why HTC Sync behaves this way? Or ... ... got a better way to do this automagically on USB cord, Wifi, or Bluetooth connection? (Definitely want auto-syncing, not just manual file transfer, that I can manage.) TIA.
