I am trying to use Android sync on my lollipop s5. I cannot add a sync folder to my device storage. When I try and link an existing folder, it gives me the warning that the directory isn't empty, and won't let me past that dialog box when I click ok. When I try and add an empty folder to sync to, it allows it, but the folder doesn't show up in the list of sync folders. I had no issues with 1.4

I'll look too. I refuse to re-learn a product that was working fine and now is too much work to figure out - and pay for it!

What a mess. My 1.4 was working well, but 2.0 has me wasting my time. Nothing works now. Re-establishing connections is impossible again. I can't specify the folders as before. It keeps pointing to my ext sd card, which I don't want to use everytime. I wish my phone didn't auto-update the app. Updates are the bain of users' existence. Now I'm going to go back to manually syncing until 2.1 comes out.

How do I add a specific folder on my external SD card on my android kitkat phone? I cannot click on the add folder icon. I can click on the ? icon to tell me how to do it. All that I can do is scan a QR code. It won't let me change the specific folder on my phone. Is this because of kitkat's treatment of directories on the extSD card?

Why is this getting more complex with each update? I am trying to re-establish syncing with my android device. When I go to add a folder on my s5, it immediately launches the camera and starts looking for a QR code. Nowhere can I choose the folder after scanning the QR code - it defaults to the device storage, which i DO NOT want. Why is this new version causing such unintuitive headaches? 1.3 was so much smoother. Somehow I got it working. I am puzzled how difficult it is to switch folders.

After re-installing windows a few times, I really would like a place that I can export my settings to, including all the keys. It's a real hassle re-doing all the keys. Also, I need a way to see what directories are being synced on my android device. I can't figure that out once I've set the folders up. The only solution is to delete them and start over.
