Some Questions About Sync 2.0 And Android

[fmarcof]

Hi all.

 

I have a couple of questions regarding the new Sync 2.0.

 

I have installed it on my Windows pc and my android.

 

1) Is it possible to create a shared folder using the android app?

 

2) With version 1.4 I had the following (working setup):

1- Created a folder on my PC (DCIM_BK)

2- Connected this folder to the DCIM folder on my android

With this I had full 2-way sync of all pics and vids.

Now with 2.0 apparently I'm not able to do the same thing because the following happens:

1- created a (2.0) folder on my pc (DCIM_BK_2)

2- Added this folder on my android

3- selected destination on my android (DCIM folder)

4- Sync creates a DCIM_BK_2 folder in my Android's DCIM folder

 

Can you please advise?

 

Thanks!

Same issue here. How do you connect an existing, non-empty, folder on Android?

Not sure if the DCIM folder has any restrictions preventing this or not (haven't tried) but this might be worth a shot:

Excerpt (replace 'Download' with 'DCIM'):

 

    Add Download Folder on desktop Sync.
    Rename Download folder on Android (folder must not exist or you will get an error).
    When folder appears on mobile, connect to /storage/emulated/0/ with the folder name set as Download.
    Move files from old Download folder to new Download folder.

That's exactly what I ended up doing. It makes no sense to have to go through that though.
