SYNCHRONISING

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

synchronising with two folders instead of one?

Hi,
Is there anyway with WM5 / activesync 4.5 to syc two folders rather than just the 'my docs' folder? I seem to be able to add extra files from the desktop to sync, but not folders.
I effectivly want to constantly & automatically backup a small folder on my PC to my XDA, aswell as the usual my docs folder.
Thanks Anthony

A program called easy sync will work for you. I needed the same thing and found that this program works wonders. Not to difficult but not very easy either, but will sync any folder, file or whatever else you want in whatever folder you have on your device and computer. Hope this helps.
Here is the link:

EXCELLENT!
Great!
Looks perfect, I will never forget to keep those files backed up now, it will be done everytime I connect my PPC.
Perfect thanks

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)

Can't save/open cab email attachments WM6.1

I'm new to WM6 and I'm sure my WM5 Universal let me save cab attachments to my card so I could install them, but my HTC Touch Pro 2 won't allow me to access an attached cab 'for security reasons'
There is no advanced setting I can change to allow me to access them - why do they treat us like morons?
So I put it in a zip but although the received email on my TP2 is the right size no attachment is shown :-(
So I had a brainwave and thought I'd just rename the cab a ms friendly doc before emailing it to my phone - but of course the standard file browser can't rename extensions and I haven't loaded a 3rd party file manager yet (maybe I'll email myself the cab for one....)

why u emailing the cabs to yourself, use bluetooth or even better active sync

cos its easier
failed miserably to get by Vista to send files by bluetooth to my TP2 and can't find my cable.
I'd use wifi but how do you do that with Vista? I have to transfer from my Vista to my XP networked the only way possible as a netwoirk drive, then wifi from there.
Email is far easier if pocket outlook didn't think it knew better :-(
Got Resco Explorer now so email my files as .docs , funnily enough half of then don't show up as attachments on my phone. hmmph

set up bluetooth share folder properly in your tp2 settings. that way when u bluetooth ur cab it will be saved directly in that folder.
U can specify where that folder is, (device or card).
If u install advanced config (search for it here) u can set it to keep the cab after install, for future reference.

Syncing Android directories to PC?

I've been searching for something that works like SyncToys (Windows PC) but for syncing Android directories to PC. I used to use Cheetah Sync, but it doesn't appear to be updated any longer and has a limited number of directories that it will support. I basically just want to keep the SDcard partition synced to my PC as a backup. Manually copying works of course, but I want to save time (lots) by having a sync software update with only the changes made on the device, instead of copying everything all the time. Any recommendations?
