.. I need to sync some folders between PC with SD card into my phone.. Not Dropbox, Any ideas? Better with secure folder.. Thank you
I use foldersync between PC and my Note8. If I remember right the app needs root permission and root won't work together with secure folder.
Use it to sync different folders or look out for other sync apps, if u won't access to secure folder. Thats my suggestion.

You can certainly create and name new folders on the phone and place your files in those, or you could transfer folders from your pc to the phone with activesync. But once you click to install the cab files, you can't then choose the path to install to your folders, it'll only let you select to install to internal storage or device. Then it will install to the program files folder in either 'Internal Storage' or 'My Device.' Having said that, there might be some app or tweak around that allows you to do it.
ya,got any app can do that?programe too many icon,need to arrange ...in folder
Hello all,
I searched and did not find exactly what I need.
What is happening it when through A/S I sync a "Files" folder it syncs only to the /My Documents on the device. I have edited the My documents path with Advance Config to /Storage Card/My Documents, bu still A/S syncs to the root my docs even if I delete the folder on the device it just recreates it.
So currently I just use a file browser to copy data over, but it sure would be nice to have the Phone my docs folder on the PC sync to the My docs on my card only.
Can this be done?
I use an application called Mobsync. It can sync folders anywhere on the device including storage cards. The latest version is trialware but if you search around you can find the older freeware version which I believe is .92.
It works and gets the job done.
Since I can't see this app mentioned already anywhere in this subforum I thought this might help someone out. I found an app which is a GUI front-end for ADB and allows you to copy files anywhere including /mnt/sdcard2 (the micro-SD card).
It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS and has a bunch of other features in addition to this. You need ADB working first to be able to use it.

If it works as good as it looks it should be pretty handy. Been wanting to copy things to SD2 without pulling the card..
I just use Estrong exploer and use the LAN option. Search for your pc on the wifi lan, then drop any files you want to transfer into your shared folder (windows) and you can copy and then paste them on to SD2card from estrong explorer.

I feel kinda dumb.. I use the same Estrong file explorer over the lan and have just never even thought about SDcard2. Funny, I move stuff all the time between the tablet and PC. Sheesh! Maybe I am getting old!
QtADB has WLAN option too
since today new version is available
more details You can find on our website
Using 0.7.6 and it connects fine, but it wont list any files on the tablet. Am i missing something obvious? Debugging mode is on, 'adb devices' detects it.
It works with tablets so if file list is empty i think You dont have busybox. Read faq and about on our website
I have busybox and I followed the FAQ but still no files list. I'm sure i am just missing something simple.. I have emailed you a debug.log.
Edit: Sorted it out with help from 7ymekk. Awesome app
No matter which android phone i use my gallery always shows a dropbox folder with some photos on it. I want to remove it but i can't seem to find a way how. I logged in to my dropbox account and checked out my folders, i have nothing in there. Kinda frustrating. Any ideas?
Insert a text file named ".nomedia" in the dropbox folder
That's the thing, i don't have a dropbox folder on my phone.

New version of dropbox stores data on external SD, if u have one. Check for the folder named dropbox on ur external sd.
I too have this problem, but I never knowingly did anything with dropbox
I use sugarsync for that functionality
Something I did in the past (I install and uninstall a lot of apps to test them) must have created the single picture in my folde called dropbox.
The dropbox folder seems to be related to Picasa (it has a small picasa logo bottom left)
I cannot find the image folder or anything on my device or sd card and I can't delete it - even deleting the cace and rebooting it rediscovers the file
and it turns out it was a picasa web album associated with my google account
So I could delete in picasa hooray
how do I remove pics from my dropbox folder on my samsung phone?
TitaniumBackup app seems to be Dropbox aware in that it has a button to 'Sync to Dropbox now!' But I am having a terrible time making them work together.
I had a TitaniumBackup folder in the phone from when made before flashing Cog 4.3. I just did another TitaniumBackup to capture all the apps I have added and commanded the 'Sync to Dropbox now!', but I cannot decipher exactly what it did, and where things are stored.
Now,
-my online Dropbox TitaniumBackup folder has some files dated when first backup was made and some from just now.
-same when the Dropbox app is opened on the phone. The TitaniumBackup folder is in the app along with Contacts, Photos, and Public folders.
-same with Dropbox folder on the PC
(I deleted this folder because of the mixed 'versions' of files in it--believing that that deletion would propagate to the phone and to the online store. It didn't. They are still there)
-when I use Root Explorer and look for these files, there is a TitaniumBackup folder in /sdcard/dropbox, and Public is also there, but not Contacts and Photos folders!!! (Why not? they show inside the dropbox app.) This folder also has the mixed dates on the files inside it.
So, I guess my original backup has been destroyed by most of the files being being overwritten (but I do have a copy I saved on an external drive off the home PC).
I just now do not have a feel at all for where the files are created, and where they are copied to if you use the standard "process" ...
When you run TitaniumBackup, where does it put the folder it makes?
When you tell TitaniumBackup to 'Sync to Dropbox now!', what folder (location) does it sync from and to where?
Finally, if you have Dropbox on phone, PC, and the online account, are changes in any of the three locations propagated and to where--the other two? To online only? I ask because the folder deletion on the PC did not get propagated anywhere.
Finally, am I to conclude that your current TitaniumBackup folder should be deleted before you run TitaniumBackup again?
1. when you run a backup the backups are stored in a folder called /sdcard/titaniumbackup
2. syncing to dropbox will only UPLOAD to your dropbox, and not replicate changes BACK to your phone
3. changes all populate through all devices, what you see in /sdcard/dropbox/ are files that you have accessed from your phone and are a local copy, not necessarily a folder that is also replicating to dropbox (from my understanding of using it. i have 30% of 5gb eaten up in dropbox and that folder only contains items that i have opened/uploaded on my phone)
4. NO! you do not need to delete the titaniumbackup folder located in /sdcard/ you can keep appending to it with your sub sequential backups. you just need to understand how to do the batch backups and how to clear out old items that you no longer want in your backup folder (this can be done within the titanium backup app)

Thanks; that helps a lot.
On 4, though, I probably want my backups to contain "what the phone looks like right now.' So, I will normally just want to do all apps + data. That is what I did this time, and it seemed to merge the two rather than replace it. That's why I concluded I needed to delete the old backup off the phone, after saving a copy of it somewhere. That brought up the uncertainty then of how the Dropbox synced copies would react.
Wait, wait, wait! I don't understand this...
I downloaded a zip I want to flash to my PC.
I put it into Dropbox folder on PC.
I went into Dropbox app on the phone, the file showed there, press it and it downloads. So far, all is great.
I start ROM Manager to move the file from Dropbox to /sdcard so I can reboot to CWM and flash it.
The zip is not in /sdcard/dropbox !!! But it SHOWS when I open the Dropbox app. What the?
Where is the downloaded zip in the file structure so I can move it to /sdcard?
And arghhhh. Why is this always so hard.
Wtf?
Plug in the phone to your computer and copy the file you want.
You're doing it wrong
Sent from my atrix
Use Dropbox for file syncing, not flashing
I use Dropbox to keep a copy of my backup (created by TiBu). I agree that copying the rom file directly to your computer is far easier than introducing Dropbox.
OK, y'all do it a different way. Mine is wrong because it is different from how you do it. Thanks.
That would still leave my question unanswered...where did Dropbox store the file...why was it not in /sdcard/dropbox?
But later I found it; for some reason, some of dropbox files are where I expected, but THAT download was stored in /external_sd/dropbox for some reason. It is unclear how Dropbox chooses where to put stuff it syncs down.
So I was able to move the file to /sdcard and flash it easily.
