[Q] Directory Sync App - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've got a Galaxy Nexus and I love the phone. The dilemma I am in is this. My desktop at home and my laptop all have pictures on them. Pictures that I would like to keep sync'd on my Nexus.
Does anyone know of an app and accompanying Windows or Mac software that will keep the three directories sync'd up?

I use Google Drive to sync files between my computers. Then I use FolderSync to sync those files to my phone overnight, while my phone is charging and on wifi.
I've trying to find a FolderSync type app for Windows, so I didn't have to use a dedicated dropbox or gdrive folder, but no luck yet.

[Q] OneNote sync - Can`t find notebook

I`ve been trying to get Onenote to sync with hotmail, with no luck. i go into the office hub, go to onenote, click on "all" and then hit "refresh" to sync. I get the following error message
"this notebook has either been renamed or deleted from the server. If this notebook has been renamed, do one of the following: change ntoe notebook name back to what it was, or delete this notebook from your phone and reopen it"
I can`t delete the notebook - the only one on my phone is called "personal (web)" and I`m not allowed to delete it, phone says it cnnot delete as its the one where default notes go.
I`ve tried creating a new onenote file on the web, but that doesn`t seem to help either.
Can anyone help??
one of the major deciding factors for WP7 was the Office integration, in particular Onenote.
I found that syncing isn't as easy as it should be.
BUt this guy managed to sort it out
here
hope it helps
Very helpful link. Thanks!
I have now fixed the sync problem by recreating the missing notebook "Personal (Web)" on my skydrive in the correct folder.
However, there are 2 niggles
1) The section names in the notebook will not sync. On skydrive the section name is "Phone" and on the phone its "untitled Section" - a manual refresh doesnt change this.
2) New pages created on the phone will not automatically sync to skydrive when saved. I have to manually force a sync by doing a refresh in the "pages" secion on the phone. I have Automatic Syncronisation switched on in Onenote settings.
New pages created on skydrive in the same notebook sync automatically to the phone without having to force a sync.
Are you getting the asame behaviour?

This is obviously operator error.
Recreate a notebook with the same name as the one you weren't supposed to delete on SkyDrive.
Same thing would happen if you were syncing to skydrive from desktop onenote.

Why even bother to send a reply if you are going to be so arrogant and unhelpful? read Hboos` reply to give you a lesson on how to be genuinely helpful. If you can`t bother to reply properly, dont bother replying at all.

Sorry, but I think I missed the answer also. I tried to sync my OneNote Mobile with skydrive for to have an opportunity to sync with my pc. Unfortunately OneNote 2010 on my pc and my windows mobile had different opinions where to find the Personal (Web). And so I deleted all the folders in skydrive and was going to start again. But now I have a folder on the phone I cannot delete and I cannot have another one as it seems. I recreate the folder structure on skydrive and build a new personal (web), but my phone does not believe that this one exists.

I had this problem too and it was a little weird way that sorted it out but I'll try to remember
I don't have my Omnia 7 temporarily but try this out.
1. Go to OneNote on your computer and create a new notebook to sync to "My Documents" on SkyDrive.
2. Name it Personal (Web)
3. Create a few random notes and pages on it.
4. Try to sync your phone now.
5. Hopefully it has created a new note called "Unfiled" or something and the Personal Web should work now
6. Set Personal Web as your default
7. Delete Unfiled..
Does that work?
As I said earlier, I don't have the OMnia 7 with me so the instructions might be a load of tosh
Let me know!
notebook lost on skydrive
Unfortunately it did not work. I build that new notebook on skydrive, but the phone still cannot see it.
maybe scoob will help you.
if not, my omnia 7 is coming back on fri so will help you then
did you make the notebook from your desktop Onenote program?
you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone.
then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.
try that!
I just tried that and it worked. I created another notebook from my pc on skydrive, connected on the phone via browser, set it as default and deleted the personal (web).
Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone.
Can't Sync OneNote Skydrive & Windows Phone 7
I didn't see this thread beforehand and deleted the Personal (Web) notebook from my SkyDrive to start and now I can't get past the error when I try to Sync my windows phone with the SkyDrive as I only have the one notebook - Personal (Web) - on my phone and don't have anything else to make the default. Any ideas on how to fix?
I can't seem to figure out if you can create a new notebook on the phone then set that as the default.
Any assistance wouldl be much appreciated.
it kinda helps if you actually read the thread too.. it's all been solved
just check the post above yours.
Please forgive me, I am having troublle following the directions
Please forgive an old man who has gone through all the posts and tried each step but is still having problems. I've condensed the post(s) below and put my comments/experience in CAPS hoping it is clearer and makes more sense than my prior post.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my prior post, on my Windows Phone 7, I only have 1 notebook displayed - Personal (Web) - and when i "TAP A NOTEBOOK TO REFRESH IT", I get the "can't find notebook" error.
I have tried to create a new notebook called "Personal (Web)" in the folder My Documents on Skydrive but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it on they syn.
I have also put a few other notebooks into the My Documents folder on Skydrive and tried the sync on the phone but still get the "Can't find notebook" error. I can't seem to figure out how to push another notebook to the phone so I can then make that one the default on the phone.
Any suggestions. If I've missed something in these posts, can you please point it out to me so i can fix it as I thought i hit each step but am still floundering. I know some others had a similar problem (posts here and elsewhere) but, at least, they had other notebooks already sync'd to their phone so they could name a new notebook as default. I just have the 1 "Personal (Web) that i can't get to sync to the server."

you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone. I CAN CREATE NEW NOTEBOOKS AND SYNC WITH SKYDRIVE BUT MY PHONE ONLY HAS THE PERSONAL (WEB) NOTEBOOK ON IT AND, ANYTIME I PRESS THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE PHONE, I GET THE 'CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK' ERROR

Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone. AS ABOVE, I CREATED ANOTHER NOTEBOOK ON MY PC AND SYNC'D TO SKYDRIVE. NOT SURE WHAT "CONNECTED ON THE PHONE VIA BROWSER, SET AS DEFAULT" MEANS. I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE IN EITHER ONENOTE ON THE PC OR ONENOTE ON THE WEB HOW TO SET A DEFAULT NOTEBOOK ????
Tell you what, i'll recreate the error and then put up the instructions in a more clear and concise manner.
That would be very much appreciated! Bill
My solution:
- delete everything notebooks (what you can) on phone
- start IE on phone
- go to skydrive.live.com -> My documents
- try open (from IE) notebooks on skydrive
this causes add a skydrive notebooks to phone OneNote notebooks
Ok
If you have accidentally deleted the Personal (WEB) notebook from Skydrive and are encountering the "CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK" error when trying to delete or sync it from your phone...
Here are the instructions
1. Ensure that your PHONE browser is set to view the mobile version of websites (found in settings)
2. Ensure that your phone is set to sync automatically Settings/applications/office/onenote
3. On your PC, go to your skydrive and create a new Notebook...call it "Personal" and rename the Section "Unfiled notes"
4. on your PHONE, go to office.live.com and login and click on your new notebook and then click on the icon
5. your PHONE will now automatically sync with the new notebook
6. on your screen you should see the notebooks on your PHONE. One of the pages of your notebook will have a picture of 3 pages fanned out...that Page is your default one.
7. click and hold the "Unfiled Notes" in the new Personal notebook you just downloaded
8. select "set as default"
9. now you can delete the PERSONAL (WEB) notebook from your phone by pressing the trash can icon.
Worked perfectly! Now why couldn't a 1+ hour phone call with MS support or the multitude of support pages they have for winphone 7 not post the 4 simple steps! THANK YOU!
The sync with One Note on the Windows Phone 7 is a bit confusing but here is your solution.
1) Create a One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account.
2) Under Properties of the FOLDER containing the One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account, click of the Share option and a drop down menu will appear to "get a link".
3) Copy the goofy long link that Microsoft Live give you and email to yourself to be received on your phone.
4) Open up your email and your One Note will now show up on the phone.
5) If that doesn't work, then simply sign onto Internet Explorer using your Windows 7 Phone and sign on to Windows Live Account. Browse to your One Note Notebook using your WP7 phone and click Open in One Note and the Notebook will then open up in One Note.
I had the same problem and the above worked for me. I think I skipped step 3 and 4 above and went direct to step 5.
This will work. Just give it a try.

[Q] Titanium Media Sync. Thoughts?

Title says it all. I was wondering if anyone has used the new Titanium app. Media Sync and what you liked or didn't like? Is it worth it? How is the battery drain using it?
Surprised that no has responded to this..
mmm... will have to try it myself
I'm using it but on milestone.
Seems good, works well for continuous remote backup of specific folder I,e, photos.
Apparently cannot set folders to continually synce down from the cloud though which is annoying as I wanted to leave it downloading videos from my desktop as they are converted while I sleep saving me from manual transfer time in the morning.
Bummer.
Works well
I'm using it on CM7 modded HTC Desire.
Works well.
Not a battery drainer because you can set it to sync only when you are powered, (or not if you prefer).
Syncs to FTP and Dropbox. I tested both and it works.
'Set it and forget it' (and if you want you can even turn the notifications off.
Worth the $.
Regards,
Jan
Great app but does anybody know if it is somehow possible to limit the upload bandwith?
Thx!
I just tried out Titanium Media Sync (on HTC Desire) and was annoyed to learn that you only have limited options for the sync (currently "continuous" and "single one way"). I needed the app to upload (and unload) photos and videos from the device to a network location, ultimately to free up space on the device. However, with the continous sync, any files deleted on the device will result in deletion on the network as well; which does not provide much of a backup.
I ended up with Syncness, which is exactly what I needed. You can even configure it to sync only with specific networks, at specific hours of the day, only at A/C power, etc. (the latter is in all fairness also supported by Titanium). I can even save original file dates/info to the remote location.
Titanium has a nicer user interface but that's not worth much when the program doesn't do what I need it to do.
/Jakob
Syncness and Titanium Media Sync are not the same!
Syncness supports Dropbox & Windows Share (Samba) networks and works ONLY while connected to WiFi, while Titanium works on both 3G & WiFi and supports Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, FTPS servers.
It's really a shame that Titanium doesn't suport two-way sync.
I would really like to see a whole package sync
I just got titanium media sync but i have trouble adding my adrive account to it. CAN ANYONE HELP ME HOW TO DO IT???
Thank you!
I am trying to decide between Syncness and Ti media sync right now. Basically want this to automatically sync my external and internal SD cards to my PCas a backup in case I lose my phone.
I like that ti media sync can do this without being on the same network since I do have an ftp share. How reliable is it? Seems none of these sync apps are considered very reliable. Does it have to run all the time or can you set it to only sync at a set time?

Thanks. Are you running your FTP server on a PC? I set my Windows 7 PC up as a FTP server. When I drag a folder from local to remote, it says failed to create folder. Any idea what the problem might be?

I've been using Titanium Media Sync (TMS) for some time syncing one way continuous via FTP to my Windows 7 PC. I've encountered a real nuisance which I hope is solvable. Basically the phone and PC are always on the same LAN, but the LAN may change from time to time when traveling. I've found no easy way of modifying the account with new IP address of PC. The PC does have a name on the LAN. I'm wondering how to specify the name (within TMS) instead of the IP address. That way the phone would always find my PC. At the moment, I must delete all the sync'd folders and the account and start over with a new account and set of folders. This also requires deleting all the previously backed up data from PC. There must be a better way! Suggestions appreciated.

Windows Phone 7 Mail Issue.

I recently upgraded to the Sprint HTC Arrive. I also have Windows 7 Ultimate on my Computer. When I delete E-Mail from my phone, it is also deleted from my Computer. I don't know how to have that STOP doing that. Windows Live Mail is what I am going to use, so please don't suggest that I use a different program. I don't want all the E-Mail overloading on my phone. I get a LOT of E-Mails a day. Sometimes over 100. I'm constantly checking it on my phone. I want to keep some of them & move them into specific folders when I get home, but I have noticed that when I delete them off my phone, they are deleted off my computer also. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE! Thank You Guys!

Your phone sync with Hotmail, Windows Live Mail syncs with Hotmail. When you do something to one, it communicates with the Hotmail server and makes those changes. That's how cloud computing works, and because you are using two methods that talk to a single server, those changes get fed to whatever device accesses Windows Live Hotmail.
This is how it is intended to work and is by design, and there is no option to "disable" sync'ing. The whole point is to keep your mail sync'd wherever you go.
If you are using Windows Live Mail, what you can do is move the e-mail you want to save into a folder that is stored on your computer, and not on the Windows Live Hotmail server. This allows you to save the message. Of course, you can only do this through your computer once you check it through Windows Live Mail. I know Windows Live Mail used to have a "mail stored on computer" function, and I haven't used it in a while so I don't know if this still exists.

[Q] Samsung GS3 Rooting Questions from a Noob

Greetings,
I am about to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 after that option was suggested to me by DocHoliday77 to address a problem with my media player on my phone. After looking at the procedure for rooting using "Odin", I feel reasonably confident in attempting to root my phone. Before i take the plunge, I have a few questions:
1. Will a rooted phone still be detected by Samsung Kies?
I sync my files using Samsung Kies.
2. Will Odin work on Windows 8?
I am about to update to windows 8, so I would like to know if should root my phone before or after I update to "8"?
Thanks all in advance.

Stop. The only thing worse than Kies is iTunes. If you tell us what you are syncing, I'm sure we can provide a better way,

Don't see why it wouldn't, but I have no intention of ever "upgrading" to it, so am currently, and for the foreseeable future, unable to test this.
Also, Odin will not work with Kies running. Either you need to force it to stop, or better yet, ax it!
There is almost no one here who likes kies and uses it by choice! To each his own, but imo kies is a horrible piece of s...oftware!
I cannot attest to win 8 either. (My upgrade was to format Windows 8 and install Win 7!)
But Odin should work. Try using win7 compatibility mode if it gives you trouble. Id just do what you need to do before you move to 8 though.

Quote 1 -
I was never an apple fan so I am in your corner on that one. I have had very few issues with Kies. The primary items I sync with are:
Outlook Calendar and tasks,
Contacts,
podcast.
I would especially like to find a way to sync "S memo" (which I have to admit I have not found a way to do even with kies). I also will mention that kies did not back up my files and info, so I lost much of the fine details with my contacts and calendars (sucks trying to match the pictures with my contacts). I attribute that to most of my info being stored on my SD card instead of the internal memory of my phone. I am fortunate in that much of my info was stored on outlook and my Google account (as well as Advance Mobile care).
Quote 2
Opinions seem to vary with Win 8, but I am reasonably comfortable taking the plunge with that upgrade as well. I had a chance to play with 8 on some display models @ Micro center and Tiger Direct. I have been assured that any software running on 7 will work with 8. As far as I know, there is no compatibility mode in win 8. I was hoping that There is someone with some hands on using "Odin" on a Win 8 OS.
Thank you for your speedy response and input.
I'm not sure about a syncing tool that'll sync smemo. But ill look around.
For contacts, regardless of how you backup everything else, I find exporting to a .vcf is a wise thing to do. Importing the .vcf is just as easy.

Greetings DocHoliday77,
My win 7 was corrupted when I was downloading some files to the point that I had to format my Hard Drive, and reinstall Win 7. Unfortunately, the only copy of win 7 for my laptop was on a flash drive and the flies on that have been corrupted as well. My decision came down to another win 7 Ultimate, or Win 8. If I am not mistaken, 7 went through its share of growing pains as well. Right now I am using another copy of Win 7 home premium that has been activated on another PC. I have 30 day to activate it, so now i am down to about a week. As I have mentioned on a previous post, I don't think win 8 has a compatibility mode, but right I don't have any applications that need to be installed or running in compatibility mode. I was assured that anything that is running on 7 will work on 8.
I only run Kies when I want to sync information that I stored on my laptop, otherwise kies is not running. I would be interested in some alternative software that will sync my GS3 with outlook 2007, contacts, podcast, and especially S memo. I have not had the misfortunes that others have had using kies, but then again that maybe due to my using it only when I need to sync my phone.
I am probably going to do as you suggested and root my phone under Win 7, then install Win 8.
Thanks much for your quick response and input.

As far as syncing my contacts is concerned, I seem to be having good luck using outlook 2007. My info is also backed up on Advanced Mobile care as well. The drawback is that no pictures associated with the contacts are saved. I have saved some of my contacts using ".vcf" cards. Is there a way to save groups of contacts using vcf cards?
What is a good app to use to sync outlook to Google Calendar? Now that calendar sync has been changed, I am looking for an alternative, especially to sync outlook to Google. I am thinking about syncing outlook to google, then google to my phone.
Thanks much for your help so far...

You need to let Google do the work for you. You are doing everything manually.
Use Keep instead of S Memo (there are literally an uncountable number of apps like this that automatically sync), use the Google calendars instead of Outlook, merge all of your contacts into your Google account (should be an option in the Contacts app). As far as calendars, I'm not sure if there is an app that can directly transfer them, but a Google search could yield some answers.

Greetings Aerowinder,
Thank you for your input. My Phone Explorer is a very good Software Application to sync Outlook to my phone. The only problem is that it doesn't sync outlook task. What is nice about Outlook is that everything I needed is integrated into outlook. Google Sync was the one app that linked outlook to my google account. My phone explorer is very close in that it sync outlook to my phone, but doesn't sync outlook task. I could attach S memo to my task and/or Calendar for my SIII. I may (reluctantly) re install Kies so I will be able to sync all of Outlook to my phone. I am open to any suggestions to address my issues and request. Thank you for your request and suggestions to date.
Update:
I descovered that the app that I use to sync my phone to outlook (MyPhoneExplorer) does have task sync function. The task sync function is different from the task function that is intergrated into outlook. The task feature for "MyPhoneExplorer" behaves more like a pop up reminder that doesn't allow the option to edit from the phone. The task can be seen, but not accessed from the phone, and is not integrated into outlook. Any changes that need to be made to the task will have to be done from the PC.

hi all,
I've used microsd cards for a long time and I'm getting a 5t red. my concern is storage and backing up with a cloud.
how does everyone back up on a cloud? what's your go to, how do you do it and why?
currently I copy paste important folders with ES EXPLORER from my phone to my sd card. then I upload to my google drive with my own folders etc.
how does one go from sd card slots to google drive upload. for example I got multiple photo folders on my sd card from my slr camera, these definitely won't fit with everything else on a 128gb oneplus 5t.
thanks!
I'm currently using FolderSync to store my data via FTP/SFTP to my Synology NAS when I'm home. Triggered via Tasker at 7 PM every day.

so foldersync lets you choose the folders, and you auto sync at 7pm, can you choose it to sync only when in charging and wifi is on?
I really should do this now, I'm doing everything manually right now...
foldersync has an auto sync time and setup, why don't you use that?

I've selected each folder that I want to have synced as a new folder pair. I prefer Tasker as I can manage all syncs at once and do not have to edit every folder pair manually. I use Tasker anyway so I prefer leaving it up to it instead of having 1000 scheduled tasks on each an every app on my device. I guess FolderSync works great with Cloud storages too but for speed and security I prefer my own NAS.

ok yeah you gotta do individual syncs for separate. folders or do a whole local of EVERYTHING. annoying can't highlight to add folders to sync on foldersynx but I'm trying it now and I think it's working well. I'm just doing the entire 0 drive path lmao.....
Then I'll move to oneplus and copy paste or something xD
Any other tips up your sleeve bro? lol
