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

Guys! Welcome new Android tool that turns your smartphone into secure cloud safe
Please try it (it's free) and share your feedback in comments! Hope you'll enjoy it
Here is the link to Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudifilepro.
Cloudifile Pro – turn your smartphone into cloud safe for your personal data
Living in a world of hacking and personal data stealing, we understand that it’s extremely important to protect smartphone, as it has become the main unguarded storage for private notices, sensitive photos or videos, financial information, copies of IDs and other documents.
But how can we easily obtain proven smartphone protection?
Cloudifile Pro in tandem with Dropbox easily solves this problem for you.
Cloudifile Pro is an Android app that turns your smartphone into a secure cloud safe for your private data.
The only thing you should do is to share selected data with Cloudifile Pro or upload it directly, and our solution will care about the rest.
Cloudifile will encrypt your files with the best-industry-standard encryption algorithms and automatically send them to Dropbox. Once your already protected data is placed into your Dropbox account, it immediately disappears from its original location for security reasons. Now you can be sure that your data is safe: even if a stranger gets access to your device, he or she won’t be able to find any data there – it is securely stored in Dropbox datacenters while only you keep the key to it.
Staying logged in to Cloudifile Pro, you can easily work with your “cloudified” data: view it, share it with other apps, or download it locally to your smartphone. But as soon as you log out, nobody can access it anymore.
Cloudifile Pro for Android allows:
Uploading data directly
To upload file or folder to Cloudifile, navigate to the destination folder within your Cloudifile and tap Upload in the right bottom corner of the screen. Choose files or folders to be “cloudified”, and click the OK button. Selected data will be securely encrypted and uploaded to the Cloudifile folder you are currently browsing. Notice that decrypted copy of your data will be immediately deleted from its original location.
Uploading data from other apps
To share file to Cloudifile from the third-party app (e.g., the image viewer), click the Share button while viewing it in the app. Choose Cloudifile in the list of applications for sharing, and your data will be automatically encrypted and uploaded to the folder with the device name inside your Cloudifile folder. For security reasons, “cloudified” data will be immediately removed from the app cache.
Viewing data
You can easily view your “cloudified” data in the Cloudifile folder with your device name. Navigate across the folders by tapping the necessary folder. Tap the target file to open it in the default viewer.
Sharing to other apps
To share “cloudified” data to a third-party app, long press it and select Share via. After choosing the application, the file will be shared to it in decrypted format. For security reasons, after you finish working with this file, it will be encrypted again, sent to Dropbox, and deleted from the app cache.
Downloading
To save “cloudified” data to your device, long press the file or folder and select Download. Please note, that it will be a non-protected decrypted copy of data residing on your device.
Deleting
To delete the file or folder from Cloudifile, long press the file or folder and select Delete.
Cloudifile Pro is totally compatible with desktop version of Cloudifile (https://cloudifile.com/) for Windows and MacOS. Thus, you can install additional desktop tool to access your “cloudified” data from your workstation or laptop and seamlessly and securely sync any desktop folders with your cloud account.
Notice that Cloudifile Pro for Android is FREE for personal use.
hi all,
i used to sync my photos in full res (and custom folders too) with my pc, using daemon sync. now i switched to an ssd (less capacity than my old hdd), moved my backup on an external hdd, and i wanted to continue syncing my files there; but, daemon sync won't let you change directory with a non-empty one. so question is, is there a good software to do selective backup from android to windows? one which makes a check of the files already backupped, and only copy to my pc the missing ones?

Don't know if this will answer your question, but I sync everything with google. Every Android phone has 2 photo apps, one called gallery and one called photos. In Photos, you can choose which folder to backup and when you're on your Gmail, you can click on the menu and see all your photos which are backed up from your phone. This way all your pictures will be tied with your google account and available online from any device without taking up space.
i already sync with google photos, but not in full resolution (the only way to make them not taking up space), moreover i still prefer to have a local copy too...
