[Q] Folder sync between phone and tablet over wifi

Hello all, I need to sync folders between my phone (Galaxy S2) and my Infinity... I use to do it with my PC but it's time is up, CPU failes... The folders are my music and photos folders, I would like to do this over the wifi in my house. The app must basically compare the folder contents on both the phone and tablet, and if there are any additions to either, they must be coppied to the other device. For instance if I take a few photos with my phone during the day, the app must detect that there are new files in the Camera folder and send those to the tablet, or if I put a mp3 file on my tablet it must be sent to my phone as well...
Are there any apps that do this? I am more than willing to pay for this functionality

Id like to know this too!

CHeck here:

Basically, if your phone and your tablet are on the same wifi, you should be able to click the LAN tab, and then scan the LAN. It will show all the IP addresses of the devices on the network.

This works wonders.

I have been using FolderSync with good results.

Try GammaSync
For PC-to-Android folder synchronization (only one-way at the moment) I developed a free app which does not require external cloud storage services (like Dropbox or SugarSync). It's called GammaSync, and it's available on the Play Store. Maybe you'll find it useful

Does it work directly between two Android devices, without requiring to upload everything to the cloud from one device and downloading again on the other?

Syncs with the cloud.
Esexplorer will require you to copy/paste between devices. Foldersync with dropbox/box.net may be your best bet.
Foldersync allows scheduling of sync with cloud via wifi only or data plan. Its the best 'set it & forget it' option I've found

Want to download an entire folder from my google drive/drop box

How do I do this? From what I see in both google drive and dropbox won't allow me to download an entire selected folder (files and other folders inside it) straight to my phone. What cloud storage application and mobile application would allow me to this the quickest and most seamlessly.
Brownie points if there is an app available for free that also does this on the iphone

[Q] How to assign file to certain program

I downloaded AUTOCAD WS but when I search on DWG files on my internal card with AStro or any file manager it seems that the system can not recognize dwg unless it opens from email only.
so how can I force the phone to open the dwg with Autocad WS? I hope I am clear with the question.

[Q] Dropbox - Change location of default file location

Hi All,
I use dropbox a lot and I make many files "favourite" meaning they will be saved offline on my device. However soon I will be running out of space on my internal memory, and I was wondering is it possible to change the default path where these offline files are stored. i would like to move the default path to my external SD card which is 64GB and has enough space to store the offline files. Dropbox has no setting to change the path where the files are stored.
Are the any settings or apps which can change the path where the offline files are stored.
Any advice would be appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

I use an app called "FolderSync"(paid). It can be set to automatically sync folders from several cloud storage sites to a local folder that can place on the ext. card. You can even set each individual folder to be either one way or two way sync. I use it with Dropbox, box.net, google drive, and skydrive.
I think with the free version it does not give the option for immediate sync when changes are made. I think it only has manual and scheduled sync available. I forgot if the free version has two way sync.

Other options are using FOLDERMOUNT to link external dir to internal dir.
Or you can also use ext2int script to mount ext sdcard as internal and internal sdcard as external.

Wireless sync to SD card on Kitkat without Root

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat). I was used to synchronizing files and photos between my phone and PC using SyncMe Wireless from bvaisoft (available from Google Play store). SyncMe Wireless was able to only send new photos from my device to the PC and update any file modified after the last sync from my PC to my device over Wifi very quickly. Since Kitkat I was not able to use this app because of loss of write access to the SD card. Files could not be synchronized between PC and device. Developer has also given up – ‘Devices with Android 4.4.2 update do not have write permission for external sd card. Nothing I can do about it' .
I discovered a workaround for this which may not be perfect but gives back some of the lost features :victory:. I will not go into the basics of using the app or sharing Windows folders over the network. This is only to show that two way sync over Wifi to SD card running Kitkat without Root is still possible.
First move the app (SyncMe Wireless) to the SD card. Share the PC folder you would like to synchronize with your device using Windows sharing features. Open the app and add computer – it will search your Wifi network for available computers. After successfully accessing your computer tap on the computer name and select ‘add sync folder’. You need to define a folder on the PC and a folder on the device to start synchronizing. The app offers excellent options from copying only to device, copying only to PC or for two way synchronizing. All folders shared on the network on your PC should be available on the app. The tricky part is defining device folder. Select ‘device folder’ and browse to storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.bv.wifisync and select com.bv.wifisync as the device folder. This is the app folder now located on your external SD card for which the app still has write access to. You can create and select subfolders within the com.bv.wifisync to sort the files you want to synchronize between your PC (e.g., storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.bv.wifisync/myfiles). Now within minutes I can sync a folder on my PC with a defined specific folder on my SD card. True that you can’t write to anywhere on the SD card but this has given me a lot of freedom while running Kitkat :angel:.
