Hey,
I need a program to sync my movies folder via usb. I tried microsoft sync toy but it doesnt work with the tablet. Dropbox is no option and I think the Asus sync program doesnt have the ability.
the best one for over the air (not usb) is foldersync...building your own dropbox
it´s on the market
regards
Mr.Lee
Have you tried Dirsync?
http://www.dirsyncpro.org/download.html
Since neither FolderSync (which is great over WiFi) nor DirSync support MTP as far as I can see, your options are down to... errrrr... none. I do heartily recommend WiFi-based syncs with FolderSync though, and Titanium Media Sync may do the job as well (although I cannot recall if that provides sync over MTP connections as well).
I will try that but I am not happy. I fly frequently so I often push 10Gb and more up. That takes ages via Wifi.
Is there a know program to wirelesly sync contacts and agenda?
I did a search and this is the best I came up with :s
Cause the asus sync kinda sucks imo. You need to klick it at the tablet then pick dates on the computer and then hit sync? There is no way to do it automatically? HTC and Samsung do a WAY better job, but don't have such tablets :s

Oh, yeah, with that kind of transfer volume you can at least shower, have dinner and have a nap in between (and after dinner as well, quite possibly). Isn't a card reader the best option then? (And maybe an extra card so you can transfer content to one card and have the next one pumped full in the meantime?). Do you have the dock as well? That would double your transfer rate, since you could use both cards to transfer at the same time in either a multiformat reader or several card readers used simultaneously.
I'm sorry if I am pursuing a lost cause, but I'm just trying to think with you here.
Netgear recently released a gigabit router so the speed to transfer over wifi will be a lot quicker.
Though yes, i do agree (or at least i can't find a solution myself), surely there must be an easier way to push large files from PC to the tablet.
I inserted the SD Card, however the copying function keeps on crashing for (for numerous small files in many folders)
There must be some software out there that supports MTP! Totally frustrating. I use goodsync to sync to my PC/ phone/ NAS but i can't sync anything to the tablet!

What is the recommended way to sync back to your computer if you are using FolderSync? ie. SMB/ FTP/ SFTP etc? I have Windows7.
I dont quite understand your comment re: sync over MTP. Is FolderSync not providing that intermediary between the tablet and the PC? (ie. essentially synching over Wifi to MTP?)
Just want to push this topic!
I couldnt get Folder Sync to work. There are so many options available and it seems you need additional software installed on the computer. There are no manuals available Sync over Dropbox etc. is no option because of their file size limitations. Im using Isyncr now for my music files. Works awesome.
I still have to do the movies, etc. by hand

Hello, the latest Beta version of super sync is now available for download (the previous version was lost during the forums backup/restore problems)
Super sync now does...
Sync any and all folders on your PPC to a basefolder on your desktop pc
Synchronise time to the PPC or sync Desktop pc clock to PPC clock
Fix contact names on every connection.
Multiple archives (definable) kept of any changed/deleted files.
Syncing to more then one Desktop PC working.
Some small bugs were fixed, making sync more reliable.
-----------------------
I intend to add more tools at a lated date, current suggestions and listings are as follows
Reliably search for duplicates in contacts
Sync/backup SMS messages on mobile edition devices
Pocket media folders.
Sync memory cards connected via a memory card reader
Sync more than 1 mailbox to more than 1 computer
sync all favourites instead of just 'mobile favourites'
------------------------
Some of the above are suggestions of users from these forums - thanks for the suggestions guys - I'll try and incorporate them soon!
------------------------
NOTE: this software in is it's beta stage only, I have tried to make sure there are no bugs but a couple may still have escaped my notice. It is possible but unlikely that your data may be damaged if a bug occurrs, please back up your unit and all data before trying!!
icarusbop, suprisingly there still is no synch solution for PocketPC for Linux. I think there is a great void there. Can your solution be ported to run on Linux? Just an idea.

Sorry - I'm completely clueless about Linux and the code I have done uses the AS connection to connect to the device anyway. A Port to Linux from what I have already would be impossible.
yeah mate, keep developing, I can't wait until you release the media folders, I know for a fact that AS would not release that feature in the future, (since they want you to use WMP10), also, Is unpractical to upload a bunch of songs via slow USB1, so for that feature alone, I'm willing to spend my money. Also the Memory card upload is better and faster, cause most Memory card readers are USB2, and are faster, (specially for us 1GB sd card users.
Keep up the great work!
Just to keep everyone updated, I am still working on Super sync. I have nearly finished the Memory card reader sync section and am hoping to add Pocket Media folders next. I have also eliminated some more bugs and made sync more reliable.
The bad news is my XDA has died and gone off for repair, so it will be a couple of weeks before I can make any more progress; sorry!!
I hope to post a new version of the software soon.
I've downloaded the software to my desktop but when I try to open it I am asked what I want to open it with. Is there an installation process?
The download file is compressed with WinRAR, you need winrar on your computer to de-compress it...
You can get if from here

101 :twisted:
i say keep developing it, with all my respect to MS but they are a lame company that designs based to what they need not what people needs, i also would say if you can develop the sync where the computer takes internet connection from the pda & not ONLY vice versa
I would like to sync all the files on my phone (M600) storage card to my PC, so I have a backup. I have a sync app (good sync) on my PC and ideally would just like to set it to sync the storage card to a folder on the PC every night.
Is there a UNC path or similar that will let me access the storage card from a PC app? In explorer it just shows "\Storage Card", but that only works in an explorer window that is already 'inside' the mobile device.
I know there are backup apps that will backup the whole card, and I use sprite backup to backup the device memory, but creating lots of very large backup files (mostly with mp3s and map files on them) doesn't seem like a very efficient way of doing things.
thanks
mark.
If you really want to backup the whole card, how are you going to get away from having some very large backup files? (summing your card is very big too lol)
Depending on what OS you're using, there are various options for mapping the Storage Card to at as a USB Drive. It'll be assigned a drive letter, and you can backup normally through the PC.
There are free options on WM5, paid for versions on WM2003.
V
Thanks - mounting as a drive letter would be perfect. Could you please point me in the direction of one of these programs (for WM5) - I couldn't find any on handago or pocketgear.
Search for WM5torage
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=1702
V
Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think WM5torage will work for me - you have to manually activate/deactivate it and when it is activated the phone can't access the card and activesync doesn't work. It's very much a manual solution, in which case it would be as easy to manually remove the card and plug it into my pc direct.
What I am hoping for is something that just runs permanently in the background without getting in the way of normal operation, so I can automatically schedule a sync each night.
What are the commercial options? I don't mind buying if the price is reasonable.
Haven't seen a commercial solution, but I guess you could use mortscript or skschema to schedule WM5torage, run it at say 11pm-12am, and at the same time cause your pc to do a backup of the now visible card.
After 12am, have your scheduler app disable WM5torage. All good hopefully.
There used to be 3rd party software for PocketPC that could map the storage to a Drive Letter, but I haven't seen it for many years.
V
Thanks vijay - that might be a workable solution. I'll give it a try. It would be nice if there was something a little more straightforward though!

You can try Card Export II for pocketPC.
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Unfortunatly wm5torage nor cardexport2 work on my TyTN
Anyone knows a suitable app for the Hermes?
Card Export II didn't seem to offer anything different from WM5torage.
I've tried using skschema and WM5torage and while it's a little 'manual' to set up, it works pretty well so far. Good Sync on my PC can be set to sync whenever it sees a specific new disc mounted, so all I had to do was schedule WM5torage to switch to USB drive mode at night, and then back again to normal mode 30 mins later.
Thanks everyone for the pointers!
My Goal: To be able to backup all the files I want over my home wifi, either to my computer's hard drive, or to somewhere on the internet.
I thought this would be fairly simple. I have Titanium Media Sync, and I set it up to sync with dropbox. I have a lot of dropbox space (I know some tricks ). However, the 300MB file size limit means that I cannot backup my ROMS (they are too big).
This is a frustrating problem for me. I installed the filezilla server, and tried to connect to it via Titanium Media sync, but it didn't work. My idea is that it has something to do with the fact that I am using University internet, and I have a router (that I think is "NAT" though I don't know what that means).
So...what's the best option for me?? I'd rather not mess with all this ftp stuff if there is an easier way to transfer large files over my wifi.
I've considered SMB...but only because I heard of it somewhere...I actually have no idea what that is either hahaha
Hey, long time XDA fan... short time account cred loser :crying:
Anyway just got the Note, and I'm liking it,but I got it for office use.
What is the best way/app to allow me to autosynch files when I export a note and connect my note via the cable?
The notes will contain highly sensitive data, so that removes the option for Cloud solutions unless you know that auto encrypts before synching.
Thanks, in advance!
Bumping for hope of an answer. This is becoming more important to my long term ownership as my workplace is looking to deploy new MDM and policy control around byod devices.

Why don't you try something like Microsoft onenote but im not sure you can sync that without the cloud. If you don't really want to edit the notes you sync u can always save them as pdf's and copy them by usb cable

The best way to sync your tablet with something like Dropbox is an app called DropSync. I recommend getting the paid version as it is far more powerful.
Unfortunately, Samsung chose a format for their Notes app that is unreadable by anything outside of another device running the same Notes app. Why they chose this obscure standard I don't know.

I'm also very satisfied with Dropsync, but also very happy with SugarSync witch has better Win app and better folder setting. You can use my referral to get 500MB more.

What about Kies? I haven't tried it yet, in fact I'm just now downloading it hoping to accomplish the same thing... even so, my use doesn't require such high standards for security. I'm hoping this can make a direct connection with my PC a lot more efficient in order to track order forms and job notifications without needing to print paper.
Hope this suggestion gives you something to work with.
:::Not sure, but thus far it seems like Kies just stores a back-up/recovery file to your computer. Not sure this is helpful but I'm still trying it out:::
Thanks for all the help. This will give me a few things to try.

The best way to sync in the office using the USB cable is with an app and computer software called "Local Sync". Sorry can't post links, but just search the goole play store.
It allows one to sync files from your Note 10.1 to your office computer w/o having to put files in the cloud. I have found it to be completely secure and reliable since its syncs over the USB cable not wireless.
You will need to also download and install the Windows program to run it. You will also need to intall the samsung drivers which means installing Samsung Kies onto your office computer.
With this app and computer software all my critical files between work and tablet are perfectly in sync.
Good luck

OTG sync or file transfers seems to be a hassel. Can't you just use a card reader(SD, micro SD, M2, etc) to connect to your pc and and transfer files via the microSD Card. . No cables needed. Installing Kies means installing versions of Net Framework if you don't have it already installed. Real PIA to install AND uninstall. Isn't it a good idea to use the card reader for large files (under 4 GB)makes sense to me. Plus, you can take the card reader with you on when your away to transfer photos/files from your camera, cellphone, etc to the Note 10.1. Takes less battery power than OTA, correct?
I'm looking to switch sync apps. I've been using Titanium Media Sync (TMS) for awhile now, but the developer has never responded nor fixed a bug I've encountered. I am happy with the functionality of TMS, but the bug prevents me from realizing its capability. It's also discouraging that the developer has not responded to my repeated bug reports. Basically, I wish to automatically copy folders from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone to folders on the PC. Either WiFi or USB would be acceptable. TMS is totally automatic and updates the PC whenever it detects a change in one of the selected folders on phone eg, adding a pic to camera folder. I prefer to use the FTP communications protocol. Can anyone recommend an app? Thanks

Thanks. Looks like a very highly rated app, but I'm looking for something that automatically backs up selected folders on my phone to PC. I did just start evaluating FolderSync and it looks promising so far
Pete
I've been testing Foldersync and it initially looked promising. Unfortunately, it repetitively overwrites many files while syncing that haven't changed. This really slows down the syncs and makes it virtually unusable. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem? One very nice feature of FolderSync is that it preserves the timestamp of files whereas Titanimum Media Sync (TMS) does not. TMS sets the timestamp of sync'd file to the time of the transfer.
Pete
I've now discovered that FolderSync cannot reliably maintain a backup schedule. Based upon this and the above I've disqualified it. The functionality of both Titanium Media Sync and FolderSync is acceptable, but the implementation leaves much to be desired. Can anyone recommend alternatives with similar functionality that work as advertised?

I use Google Drive, basically the same as Dropbox, but with more Google account integration. I don't think either is better, really, it's just the one I used first.

I've discovered my problem with scheduling of FolderSync. It was conflicting with Juice Defender which turns off WiFi when screen off to save battery life. I enabled 'Turn on WiFi for scheduled syncs' within FolderSync and now scheduling seems reliable.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to solve the issue where FolderSync overwrites a significant number of files that have not been changed on phone. For example with respect to the folder DCIM, FolderSync overwrites 199 files equal to 883 MBytes and takes 18 minutes on each sync even though no files were changed. Others have noted the same issue on the FolderSync forum. Until this issue is solved I can't consider FolderSync for backups. I'm using One Way to Remote from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2.

Thanks, but we're looking for an app that runs on the phone that does the backup on a schedule or on file change. Airdroid seems to be a program that runs on your PC's browser.
