Delosari Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hello everyone. I just started to play with sync and I wanted to ask for advice on the right way to perform the following task. I have a phone and tablet. Both have the same android version 5.0 and they share manufacturer so the folder treeis practically the same. For example I want to sync in both devices the /DCIM/ folders where I have store some photos. I "create" new folders in the android app to link these folders to my desktop and now I have: /Desktop/default/folder/DCIM/ /Desktop/default/folder/DCIM(1)/ It is not really annoying but I wonder if it could be possible to change this to somewhat like: /Desktop/default/folder/Tablet/DCIM/ /Desktop/default/folder/phone/DCIM/ From what I have been reading so far in both windows and android devices you can link a given number of folders in one device and all these folders will go to the default folder in your other device. My issue is if you have more than two, devices how can you handle change individually the default target folder to keep it more organized and to avoid conflicts (well I think there are not conflicts because sync will add (number) to your folder). My apologies if I wasn't clear enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 @Delosari Yes, it is possible. Try disabling a "Simple mode" in advanced preferences. Then, when adding folder you'll be able to edit path manually. Ensure that the path does not contain the automatically added (1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delosari Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 @RomanZ Thank you very much for your reply. I have seen this "Simple mode" check in the android app, is it also available in the windows program? ... I cannot seem to find it...

Helen Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 If this is a backup from the phone, Sync on PC will indeed automatically connect it in default folder. You can rename or move it win Windows Explorer. Note, that you can move it only within one drive. To change location to another drive - you need to disconnect and reconnect it. If this is just a sync folder, then you should have been prompted for folder location when connecting it on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
