In the settings I have seen the section BACKUP & RESTORE. In there, Backups can be done on external drives. And among other things, it says there can be shared folders from for example a NAS. Problem is, I dont find any shared folders although i have a NAS from Synology running with a lot of shared folders. However when I search in that setting, it doesnt show any NAS or folder. Why is that ?

I use my shared folders to backup my phone and it's really convenient.
Try accessing your shared folders with the built in file explorer to make sure you can communicate with your NAS.
Steps :
1 - Connect your phone to your local wifi
2 - Launch file explorer
3 - Select Network neighborhood and you should see your shared folders
If it still doesn't work then you should probably have a look at your NAS settings.

I have Astro installed and if a folder is created by an app such as reware on the mnt/sdcard , it does not show on my Windows or Mac desktop laptop etc. I can see it if I use Astro. If I backup the mnt/sdcard then it will not backup either as windows nor mac will see the relevant folder
I can see the other folders like ringtones etc but not the folders made by backup apps , or any other made folder on the mnt/sdcard by apps .
Any ideas anyone as this is driving me nuts
Ah ok so this is an MTP issue I'm guessing from past posts ... Whoops just a confirm will be good and then I' ll start using wifi transfer .
I have tried with file manager and found the files i was looking for in android/data/something but when i connect my GN to my PC (win7 32bit) i only get a few folders and files,
I have tested with both USB modes and I only get the basic folders such as
Alarms, Android, DCIM, Downloads, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcasts, Ringtones.
and the file manager reports more folders present :/
also the files i'm trying to access are within the android folder (which is visible on PC) but in filemanager there are 10-20 folders found in android/data that are missing on PC. PC only shows 3 folders in android/data
It also appears to be possible for other users to access the exact same file at the exact same filepath, why can't I?
is there a feature on GN or ICS that makes it impossible to access some files from the PC or is this a bug/flaw?
in case you guys need to know what files i'm trying to access, it's the game files to GTAIII
I kind of have a similar problem.
When i connect my phone to a windows 7 computer it mounts okey and shows me the files. If I create a folder on the phone from windows explorer, unmounts the device, I can not see this folder on the phone via a file manager unless i reboot my phone. This also applies the other way around. If I create a folder on the phone from a file manager, then mount the phone to the computer, I can not see the folder until I reboot my phone.
Is there a fix for this? Is it a bug? How can i resolve this? It's very frustrating.
MTP/PTP doesn't offer all the features the full USB transfer mode has. Search will help you find the pros and cons of this.
Workaround: Use an app like WiFi File Explorer or Airdroid.
Hi everyone. When I'm connected to my pc in MTP mode and try to browse, certain files and folders are invisible. The folders in particular I'm trying to access are my app folders under Android\Data\ specifically my kindle app folder to place a few pdfs to read in there. These folders were visible before I rooted my phone and installed my current ROM, also I know they are there because I can browse them in my file manager app. I am currently running the latest build of CM9.
If anyone could explain to me how to fix this issue that would be great. Also I know there are ways to still move my pdfs into this folder but I would prefer the simple copy paste route. Thanks.
I can't seem to find an app to do exactly what I'm looking for. I want folders to back up to my NAS over my wifi network, but to remember what's been copied and only send new files regardless of whether they're still in the destination folder or not.
I'm currently using the sync option of AndFTP but it copies everything.
Here's my use case: I copy all my photos over to a 'Phone Pics' folder on my NAS, I then sort them into folders by date or place and delete anything I don't want to keep. But the problem is that the next time I sync, any I move or delete get copied over again!
So, I have to keep a folder of everything and copy them to other folders if I want them to be sorted or part of a different photoset. Which is annoying and harder to keep track of.
Ideally, the app would remember the date of the last sync and only copy new or changed files since then.
Any ideas?

Ah, no still doesn't work unless I haven't set it up right.
It copies files across ok, but if I move them out of the destination folder they're copied straight back on next sync. What I need, I guess, is not a sync setup but a 'copy new files only'
I keep uh...a few hidden folders on my phone for certain files i dont want loaded in general apps (gallery, video player, etc)
However ive noticed that sense flashing to a custom rom (codename android 2.0 RC) im not able to access these folders via MTP USB connection to my PC. Its not a huge deal, as i can access the files and move it to the appropriate folder but is there a fix for this? i have a folder called .stuff that i cannot access via my PC...but can via root explorer.
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Linux, you could need to press ctrl and h to view hidden data.
Windows, you would have to change your explorer preferences...
You could also just put a .nomedia file in the folder you don't want media players to see.
Using windows.
They aren't set to be hidden in properties.
Just when you put a . In front of the folder name it hides it from media players in android.
Putting a no media file inside will hide all the files as opposed to just hiding the folder from say dice player. As it has a toggle to show hidden folders. It was perfect. Just cant access the .folders in windows anymore. Is this a cm9 bug? Didn't have this issue on my stock rom
