Just wanted to share this. For those using Mac and PCs to sync their mobile device. This is a solution to sync files and folders you want to use in all three platforms. I use the Missing Sync on my Mac and also My Dropbox for synching files between my Mac and PC. Now to keep files synched on my mobile too I chose the My Dropbox folder as the folder to sync in Missing Sync. This way all three plaforms keep my files synched all the time. Maybe some of you are doing this... thought I would just share it.

Do you know any good free app to sync my PC Pocket and my PC. Because "Missing Sync" isn't.
Missing Synch is only for the Mac platform. For synching only PC you have the Active Synch from Microsoft, that should do the job.

My phone syncs alright with Active Sync 4.5 but it gives me some error when trying to Sync Notes. Keeps saying it can't sync a certain file "Dogbark" because it may be in use. This file is neither on my system nor on my phone. Then why this error? Any help thanks.
Dogbark should be one of media files (ringtones). Check did you select media sync...
The problem was not that file, there was some issue in general with notes synching, I deleted all notes and synched without Notes option enabled. Then created a Note in Outlook on my PC. Then synched again. It worked. Thanks.
Hello all,
My hard drive crashed on my old laptop. I bought a new one but haven't installed MS Office. I set up the sync connection to tether and now most of my contacts and calendar are gone.
What could have happened?
Any way to retrieve them?
I have been reading around on the net for a few hours and this looks to be a very common problem after switching computers and setting up a new partnership. It also looks like if you dont use an exchange server and do not have outlook installed on the desktop to catche deleted items then you are out of luck.
I cant believe WMDC is suppose to act this way! It says you have to delete a partnership and since your other PC is gone you delete the partnership. You expect that the device will populate outlook on the desktop or if outlook is not on the desktop then nothing will be touched.
But NO,,, microsoft is set up to delete all your precious data from your phone without warning!!!
THANKS microsoft!!!
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...
Can HTC Sync app that syncs Outlook with Android can it be used with Galaxy S phone?
I'm looking for option to sync with outlook that DOES NOT require me to upload my data to google.
Kies doesn't require you to use the cloud to sync your PIM data
You may want to do a search for and check out "Android Manager". This is what I use over Wi-Fi for Outlook sync. I like it better than Kies myself.
anyone else tried Android Manager?
I also use android manager You can sync Contacts , Calender , Images, Videos or any other folder you choose.
Application is quite stable (I personally find it much more stable than MyPhoneExplorer).
best part its free.

The full Kies does not work with Captivate and Kies Mini has limited functionality.
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync my outlook data. It has a PC program where you can edit/add/delete contacts and when you connect the phone to the PC it starts the companion app on the phone to make the transfer. No Google cloud needed and haven't had any stability issues with it.
Out of curiosity, I installed Android Manager on my PC. Unlike MyPhoneExplorer, it does not interface directly with Outlook. I'm unsure of how you even get your Outlook data into the program as the only import format it appears to support is .pbf, which is not a format Outlook can export to. If either of you guys have a way to do this, please post it. Thanks.
EDIT: OK, I played around with it some more and got it figured out. I am now an Android Manager user. Much easier to use than MyPhoneExplorer once you get it setup properly and I like not having to use a cord to sync. I wonder why this great app never shows up on lists of ways to sync Outlook with Android? First I heard of it was in this thread and I looked a lot when I first got the phone. Thanks for the tip.
