JimmyTheSaint Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Can someone explain the idea behind the Android backup-type sync folders? They seem to be the same as a sync that's read/write on the Android and read-only on all other devices that sync it. In addition, backup folders have less flexible usage in the Android app, which makes it easier to assure they're only used for the specific backup purpose, I suppose. So do they merely make it more convenient to do what can be done with regular syncs, or is there some bigger advantage/convenience that I haven't realized yet?

Guest idef1x Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've exactly the same question. So far the only "benefit" of a backup is that you can make a Full backup of your Android device AND do a sync of for example your pictures. With normal sync you can't sync a subfolder of a allready synced parent folder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
