joelshannon Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm unclear what the difference is between 'sync' and 'backup' in this case. Deleting photos from the desktop sync folder doesn't affect Android sync folder, but clearing the photos from my camera does remove them from the desktop. I see another post from someone about the iOS photo backup asking why their photos are are not deleted when they clear their camera roll, so it seems to be working as expected for that platform. Do I need to change some setting to make the photos persistent on the desktop? I see reference to a .SyncArchive but I had assumed there would be some way to maintain photos in the sync directory I've selected rather than looking elsewhere for them. Thanks.

RomanZ Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi joelshannon, Indeed, currently behaviour on iOS and Android devices towards photo backup is different. We are going to fix it soon. For now I can advise you to set "sync_trash_ttl" advanced setting to "0", so all photos you delete on Android device will be moved to .SyncArchive but will never be deleted from there. Currently Android Photo backup is technically a read-only sync folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelshannon Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for this information, Roman. Could you tell me where the .SyncArchive is located? I'm on OS X and I'm unable to locate this. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
