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)

How to sync contacts from pda with Outlook?

Hello,
i've a pda with WM 6.1
My problem is bidirectional synchronization.
The situation is:
1. On my mobile device are about 200 contacts (names, telNr, emails, adresses)
2. On my desktop pc with win xp + outlook 2003 (yesterday new win xp installation). Outlook is empty and doesn't have any contacts.
My problem in the past was deletion of new contacts on my mobile device.
For example i met someone in a club. He gave me his number and email adress. I type all the info on my mobile device.
If i plug my device at home (via ActiveSync) and tried to sync the contacts from my device with outlook on desktop pc this new contact was deleted!
Everything what wasn't on desktop pc was deleted.
Now i have my contacts only in my mobile device. Hot to set up active sync, mobile devic, desktop pc outlook to get the contacts from mobile device to desktop pc?
I'm afraid to lose all my contacts if i connect my mobile device with desktop pc :-( That everything will be overwritten with empty destkop pc outlook.
How to make the synchronization bidirectional?
1. If something is present only on mobile device and not on destkop pc -> save it on desktop pc.
2. If something is present only on destkop pc and not on mobile device -> save it on mobile device
3. Avoid duplicates
4. DELETE NOTHING FROM MOBILE DEVICE
Is it possible?
Please help me out :-/
best regards

Hi,
Sadly enough M$ does not use their AS themselves, otherwise it would be much more up to its task...
Best way to operate is IMHO : use PIMbackup to have a copy of your contacts saved. then sync the PDA and PC. When done, go into Extra | Options and change the settings to 'Leave item on PPC'. Restart PIMbackup and put back your backup-file. By the time you're finished doing that AS has already copied all your contacts from PDA to PC.
Dirk

have you looked in activesyncs settings
click Options
right click on the pc
choose source settings
look at the "if there is a conflict" dropdown
also it's always a good idea to backup your outlook on the pc
you can do that by exporting the pst file

HTC Sync with Galaxy S?

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.

[Q] Sync PC files w/ Android over Internet (no cloud)

Is there any way to sync folders/files from my PC with my Android phone?
This is what I'm hoping for:
-Over the Internet away from home, so not on same WiFi network as home,
-NOT cloud-based (like Dropbox, Sugarsync, Box, Windows LiveMesh), I need something that is direct PC - Android.
-Automatic sync, not just a way to manually locate files on my PC and download them (I can use Logmein or Splashtop for that).
Thanks in advance for any help!
