Hi guys
So I had my Android phone all setup to backup to my PC the important folders, including the DCIM camera folders.
The way I set it up was, my PC had a folder dedicated to each folder in my android device that i wanted to backup, and I shared each folder from Android using Sync app and entered the KEY on the PC side.
All worked well.
But recently got a new Android phone, and I wanted to simply re-establish this Android to PC relationship.
Since I already have my PC folders setup, I wanted to simply link them with the new Android Device's folders. Then that's where i hit a stumbling block.
It seems that the way Sync is setup is that the DEVICE that will generate the code will be the SOURCE and the device that will COPY the code is the DESTINATION.
If I try to scan QR code on my Sync App, the code is READ-ONLY (i assume it means the Android device will only have read-only capabilities and can't write to the PC folders . This made the PC folders the source and the Android folders the DESTINATION..
What am I missing here? or is this the expected behaviour of Sync?
The only way I could seem to get around this is if on my PC side, i delete/unlink all folders and just redo them.
That means I have to first share the folder on the Android device App, and enter or send the code to PC somehow (so much hassle compared to just QR scanning the code on the PC side of this setup.
So is this really how sync works? The device GENERATING the code will be the SOURCE and the device COPYING the code will be the DESTINATION, and there is no way around this?
can anyone confirm?
