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.
Hi folks,
my first post here, to date I just read in the background.
However I just hacked the Mango update to my Optimus 7 and I have a question considering Skydrive + Mango.
I sync all my documents between my workstation, my laptop and skydrive synced storage.
However I cannot access the synced storage via my WP7, only the standard folders. Is there a way to sync my documents folder to standard skydrive as well?
Thx in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
dahlai
I can access mine. Office -> SkyDrive -> My Documents
Yeah, but this folder is empty...
The data only gets synced between my two computers and Skydrive synced storage, which does not appear on WP7. So, how can I sync the data to the "real" skydrive.
Or am I missing an important point here`?
anyone here, who could help me?
Now I mounted my Skydrive as a loval drive, syncing tools like Syncback however cannot synchronize data with the drive -.-
You're mixing up two things: SkyDrive and SkyDrive synced storage.
SkyDrive is the online service that gives you 25GB to store your stuff. This is the place to where you can directly upload your photos from WP7 for example.
The other thing is Live Mesh. Live Mesh allows you to sync files between several PCs and "SkyDrive synced storage". This is useful if you have two PC and you want to sync files between them, but you don't have them turned on at the same time. Live Mesh only offers 5GB of storage and you cannot access it from WP7.
You can see your Documents in skydrive here: http://skydrive.com
Only things that you upload there can be viewed and edited on your WP7.
Yes I know that. However on first sight I thought that there had to be an option that live mesh could also sync to skydrive.
I now know that this is not possible. (Cannot find any reason for that though)
So I now have the problem, that my documents on both PCs are kept in sync via live mesh, which also syncs to the 5gb of synced storage. Now with Mango on my phone and the ability to access/edit documents from skydrive, the only logical conclusion for me is to keep those files in sync with my PCs as well.
As of yet there seemingly isn´t any solution to it.
One can mount skydrive as a local drive, but you cannot sync files with it, even though one can drag and drop....
Any thoughts?
Missing workflow microsoft ???
Me too, Microsoft are missing the point here (or are we ?) You want to sync your docs between computers and have them open quickly/locally...but also want these same docs available on the web and WP7. Hope this gets resolved in a later beta of Mango...
So far, your only solution would be to browse your sync'd folder through the browser on the phone.
Merge them
They should just merge the 2 features together and allow any skydrive folder to be synced.

and that only works if you switch the browser to full mode (not mobile)
Hmm, really hope this gets resolved, at latest with the final Mango release.
Otherwise the whole skydrive does not really make a lot of sense, being integrated into the Office Hub
followed this guide and mine works.

This is exactly the kind of thing that make me mad about microsoft... its sooo damn frustrating sometimes.
WHY on earth have this nice LIVE mesh feature, where you keep all of your pcs docs nicely synced, but then, dont have the option of seeing it in your WINDOWS phone, you need to manually upload it to ANOTHER folder in a PC (wich erase the whole purpose), and dont give me the "just download it from the browser" thing...
I love the wp7 mango beta, its one hell of a slick OS, actually im kind of a microsoft fan in general, i use PCs exclusively, office, xbox, zune HD, hotmail, live, skydrive & mesh and now WP7 (i do own an ipad though)... but why it is soo hard for them to make everything work together?? this is an important feature for me since i sometimes need to check some excel files on the go, and i need the most up to date version... So im screwed, since dropbox (which i used) its a no go in wp7 (i dont mind, since its not MSFT fault), but mesh (a msft service) its useless in their phone, even in the ipad i have access to it via iSMEStorage...
Music/video streaming is nice and all, but this feature seems to me even easier to implement, they can even disable the editing/uploading functionality, i believe most of us can do with a viewer only...
...end of rant...
I have come across an issue where HTC sync does not sync all the documents that are specified in the folder to sync from the PC to the phone - it takes MS office documents - but it does not take Open office file extensions - any reason for that? - a sync programme should not care about file extensions???
Found this thread from a wide Google search.
I have exactly this problem. New HTC Amaze on T-mobile, downloaded latest HTC Sync, and have successfully synced calendar and contact info <-> with Outlook 2003 ( XP PRO). I enabled option to sync Documents from PC, pointed it at a new folder, and it synced only some documents and two sub-folders to /mnt/sdcard/My Documents/Documents/l/Documents and Settings/[username]/[device name] documents/ (whew what a arcane path!). (Yes, \My Documents\ is mounted on drive L: to keep volumes clean.) ... Back to the story. It left out a third sub-folder that contained .WAV, .AAC, and .MP3 files. Tried resyncing a few times. HTC Sync of course offers no fine granularity options, nor even a user guide on the Help menu.
I miss Nokia PC Suite already (12 days with an Android, yes, I am a Major Noob).
Anyone determined why HTC Sync behaves this way? Or ... ... got a better way to do this automagically on USB cord, Wifi, or Bluetooth connection? (Definitely want auto-syncing, not just manual file transfer, that I can manage.) TIA.
I just installed bit torrent sync app on my phone (S5), laptop and desktop.
I want to sync my phone camera photos to other two devices. After I deleted phone photos, I don't need to automatically delete them on my PC's. I want to keep that photos in other locations. So how do I configure bit torrent sync app to do it? When I'm configuring sync app on my Galaxy s5 I can't see such a option.
Also are there any chance to link external SD card folders? Because my music's are in external SD.
Hi Guys,
Haven't posted before but need a solution as it's driving me insane!
Currently using a Mac and thus using the sony bridge app however there is no option to automatically sync photos?
I have to either group select the ones I want to transfer to iPhoto, or hit "import all" (would not recommend as it ending up creating duplicates of all my photos).
My only request is to connect the phone via usb and have my photos (both saved and camera) be transferred to iPhoto without any manual processes. I had a Nokia 925 prior to the Sony and syncing with my mac was surprisingly much easier!
If anyone could help that would be great, I just like to have a backup of all my photos just in case the phone decides to die on me.
Cheers
You could use autobackup on Google Photos or Microsoft OneDrive (30GB free now), that way it syncs online and you can have a copy on your Mac
I have a Netgear NAS so the mobile app auto syncs. Before that I used to use OneDrive, as it automatically adds everything on my PC.
