I'm trying to figure out how to use Active Sync to use the file sync, but to my storage card instead of the default location on the phone.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you,
Tim
Found my own answer by searching the forums...but of course.
Anyways, for those who might be curious. The answer was to download the freeware version of MobSync at http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=454
I was worried whether it would work with the HTC S620/S621 because it only speaks of PPC in their details. But it actually runs only on the PC and works perfectly.
This will allow me to download podcasts using iTunes and then have them copied over to the Storage Card using MobSync. Before I was clicking on explore, storage card, etc. and manually copying them each time. This will save me a number of steps.
Thank you,
Tim

The method I use that outerdepht told me was that after syncing with your pc , just use your windows explorer on your computer to view your mobile device , after that just find your storage card file and drop whatever file you want in it.
Yes, that's what I was doing and is fine for adding songs here and there, and it's not a momentous task to copy files over in that manner.
But I listen to daily podcasts and my new method expedites the process. Now I can run itunes, have it update my podcasts. It will download to their default folders. I then just connect my htc dash and click on mobsync to copy the files over to the storage card. Alot less fuss for something that you update frequently.

Hello,
The default folder for the synchronized files is placed in the main memory.
Is there a way to move it to the storage card ?
Thanks for your kind help,
Jean-Jacques
I've not tried MightySync but it says it can "sync anywhere on your Pocket PC from anywhere on your Desktop PC". It only costs $6us and you can download a free trial.

Thanks Evaluator,
Could be a workaround if no way to redirect the active sync folder on the artemis.
The testimonials are not so good...

Try MobSync, it is free.

DId the Desire come with a CD, in the excitement i may have over looked and misplaced it, if s can i download the software?
Nope it didn't come with a CD, it's on the MicroSD card Plug the Desire into your computer in Hard Disk mode and you can install it. I'm sure it should be available online though
hmmm i remember the option of things to choose comming up on pc before, dosnt come up anymore :S, jsut charges and i cant do anything else
If you swipe down the status bar and press charging you should be able to change it?
hmmm doesnt say charging on the notifications bar, :S , its definatly charging, this is strange, i was def getting it before lol
That's quite odd! I'm not sure what to suggest then.. but if you do manage to change it you'll be sorted
wen i go to the bottom right the drive comes up, and in my computer, but i cant access it
am i ment to format my sd card 1st or sommin?

Do not format the SD Card, it will wipe the HTC Sync executable installation file.
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Applications > Development.
2. Make sure the USB debugging check box is selected.
You can always download HTC Sync from http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=312&act=sd&cat=3
ok iv installed htc sync from that link, and i done the usb debug option, it now connects, installs a load of stuff, but i cnt access the drive through My Comp and on HTC sync it says "disconnected"

Try turning off the phone and turn it back on again while connected to the PC via the USB cable, and then select the Disk Drive option.
What version of Windows are you running? Is it 32/64 bit?
thanks a bunch guys, the restart got it working,
one last thing, how do i go about putting music and video onto the device, at the moment theres 3 folders, footprints, backup and lost dir, also does this HTC sync auto transfer photos and videos you take to the pc like the nokia programs did?

No problem Bud, glad that worked.
If I remember correctly, just create a Music folder in the root of your SD card and create folders within that folder.
e.g. Storage Card\Music\Chris Brown\[the mp3 file]
To store video files, create a new folder called DCIM, and then create another folder within that called 100MEDIA, and place picture files and video files within that.
The structure will be Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA\[picture file] for pictures, and Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA\[video file] for videos.
thanks again boss, , move from symbian to android is like from the stone age to modern day

No problem Bud, I had a Symbian phone once... it was the Sony Ericsson P990i.
How times change...
I have also recently moved over to Android OS, used to have an HD and HD2 before that using Windows Mobile OS. Loving the Desire
without restarting the phone. Is it possible? If not I need another music player app because it's lame to restart the phone each time I add a new title.
Im not sure, but I do have a workaround.
Just play the song using a file manager, and the music app will pick it up for indexing.

what if I add 100 new titles? No really, they only need one additional button to reindex! Functionality exists only the user interface lacks one button! So htc why such suffering?
How are you adding the files? Do you just drag and drop onto the SD card? If so the card gets rescanned as soon as you switch back from Disk Drive mode. If it's not then there's a problem.
For example if you connect via USB you have the options to charge only, sync, see it as a disk drive or use the device as a modem. If you see it as a disk drive the SD card is unmounted from the phone until you've finished. Then it's mounted and rescanned.

no it's not. You can put some files into a mp3/some_subfolder and restart the phone. Then start the music app and then rename this some_subfolder. The app is f-ed up. OK maybe unmounting the sdcard and remounting it is a workaround but it's dirty one.
ps I mount sdcard in a unix environment and do copy files. Then I switch back to inet sharing.
Hey I am new to Android and have had my Play for over a month now.
Can anyone tell me how to access my SD cards' data, I am just see what is in it?
I came to this halt the day I had to send a PDF from my phone; stored in SD, to my computer.
These are the things I have tried.
1. Find that PDF in the QuickOffice and hold it for a second, but the options screen that appears doesn't show any option for sending via Bluetooth.
2. Secondly, I tried the same by accessing that PDF through Adobe Reader, still all in vain.

Just download a file manager off the market, It will give you access to all the non protected partitions on your device

hook your phone up to your computer using the micro usb cable, in the notification area, you'll have an option to connect to pc, turn it on, after that, open up windows explorer and your sd card will be mounted like a thumb drive in your computer.

Hi,
Exist some Explorer of Isolated storage thats run without Zune or
Windows developers tools ?
Thanks for advice.
hi
you use a htc device, so you can install the htc root webserver xap.
read this post and try it. it's really simple to use.
you will have access to isolated storage, too.

Nice looking app, but If I can't connect to wifi how to connect to ISOLATED storage ? Works it also if I connect my device via microUSB cable to PC ?
Thanks.
hi
no at that time, it works only via wlan. you can put in the usb-cabel and a ip is showing up, but you can't connect to this ip.
steps to do:
open the webserver app on your device
in the app change the password in one of yours
connect to the showing ip adress in browser on your computer
type in username and password
have fun, the rest is self explanatory!

ok, if I cant connect to wifi the web server is for me
useless solution.
But I found out something else watch this: I got HD2
my microSD card is 8GB. There are 2 partition one is something 7.5 GB
and second this is important is FAT16 200MB.
I installed new FileBrowser and in this app I can see folder Storage Card
and I am able to copy files on this FAT16 partition without problem
and I can read it in card reader and oposite if I copy something in card reader
to FAT16 I can copy it from this "Storage Card" folder in device File Browser and copy it to device.
Shame that It works only on devices with Storage card.
Thats why I love my HD2, Igot WP 7.5 and microSD slot
